Our Community Investment Programme
We are committed to supporting the communities in which we live and work and understand we must contribute positively to society by being active in the communities that we are part of.
We operate a leading community investment programme, delivering financial support to a diverse range of community projects near to our renewable developments.
We have supported over 10,000 community projects with grants of £78m since 2008.
We provide funding via four mechanisms - click on the arrows below to find out more:
