Bessy Bell 2 Wind Farm

Through our Bessy Bell 2 Wind Farm, near Newtownstewart Co. Tyrone, we make over £16,000 per year available for local projects promoting energy efficiency and social sustainability through our community fund programme.

In 2023, due to the increasing level of demand for this Community Fund, SSE Renewables has taken the decision to start awarding funding from the Bessy Bell 2 Community Fund every two years rather than every year to maximise funding opportunities. The new biannual fund for 2023 and 2024 was circ. £33,000.

Go Mental NI was awarded £2,000 for counselling and cognitive behavioural therapy sessions for frontline workers.
