 About Us
Community Windpower Ltd was formed in 2001 and is an
independent, UK based renewable energy company who specialise in the design,
development, construction and operation of wind farms.
We believe in an open and consultative
approach with the local communities during the development stage of the project
and prior to the submission of a planning application. We are experienced in
designing wind farms that are sympathetic to local landscapes and can provide
local generation to meet local energy needs. We have a dedicated team of professional
staff who are committed to renewable energy to help reduce the serious threat
that Climate Change now poses.
Our Dalry Community Windfarm in North
Ayrshire, was commissioned in 2006 and generated enough power for over 12,000
homes in its first year of operation, around 57 GWh. Aikengall Community
Wind Farm near Dunbar, East Lothian, was commissioned in March 2009 and is now
in full operation generating 48 MW of clean, green electricity. Millour
Hill Community Wind Farm, an 18 MW scheme adjacent to Dalry Community Wind Farm
was commissioned in May 2012.
Our fourth project, Calder Water Community
Wind Farm near Strathaven in South Lanarkshire is due to commence
construction and will comprise of 13 turbines with an installed generating
capacity of 39MW. During the summer of 2012, planning permission was granted
for our fifth project, Sneddon Law Community Wind Farm, near Galston in
East Ayrshire with 15 turbines and a capacity of 50 MW and construction is
commencing shortly.
We have a total of 750 MW in
operation, under construction and in development in the UK. Our pipeline
will involve substantial investment into the economy worth over £1billion the
majority of which is in Scotland and England; a valuable economic lifeline for
jobs and businesses who supply the renewables industry.
