Wind Farm Community Fund Northern Ireland
This fund is now OPEN
Wind Farm Community Fund Northern Ireland
The Wind Farm Community Funds initiative was established by ESB Group with the intention of helping the communities neighbouring our wind farms to become more sustainable through the support of positive local initiatives and activities.
The initiative seeks to address current and emerging issues, needs and opportunities within communities, enriching lives and creating brighter possibilities for local residents. As a part of the initiative, Groundwork NI administers five Northern Ireland community funds that surround wind farms owned by subsidiary companies of ESB.
