Through our Keadby wind farm we make around £200,000 per year available for community and charitable projects. Between 2013 and 2038 we expect to invest £4.3 million in local projects. Additionally, the same annual amount - equating to £2,500 per installed MW - is committed to the regional Sustainable Development Fund covering North Lincolnshire.

Helping when it is needed most
Many communities have faced unexpected pressure on local projects when higher inflation increased the costs of goods and services.
The Keadby SSE Community Fund in Axholme North proposed a scheme to help with additional winter fuel bills in eligible community buildings. This meant the volunteers running these buildings could continue offering hire to many community groups without increasing the rate.
They also proposed a second Winter Warmth scheme - new activities which gave opportunity for small groups to arrange additional sessions throughout the winter months to share a warm space and socialise. The panel felt it was important that the SSE fund responded to local need and these two schemes ensured the community funds have been available to support group during winter months.
Councillor Julie Reed, chair of the panel said:
"The panel of the Keadby Community Fund in North Lincolnshire supported the Winter Warmth schemes which enabled local halls and venues to open to provide warm lunches, snacks and social activities to vulnerable residents. We are pleased to have been in a position to help and thank all of the volunteers for their hard work."
