Balmurrie Fell

Through our Balmurrie Fell Wind Farm, we make around £30,000 available from our Balmurrie Fell Community Fund per year for community and charity projects. Over the fund's lifetime, we expect to invest £560,000 in local projects.

Additional funding is committed to the regional Sustainable Development Fund. This fund runs every few years and supports transformational projects across the Dumfries and Galloway local authority area.

Dumfries and Galloway Council administer this fund on our behalf.
