Lenalea Community Benefit Fund
The Lenalea Community Benefit Fund will provide grants to local community groups and not-for-profit organisations located within 15km of the wind farm.
The Fund comprises of three elements:
- The Local Fund
- The Major Projects Fund
- The Near Neighbour Fund
For the 2023-2024 period, the Community Benefit Fund is approximately €40,000. This is because the electricity generation’s contribution to the fund covers a shorter period in this financial year.
This will increase substantially in the financial year 2025–2026 to approximately €150,000.
The Local Fund
The Local Fund supports projects focused on energy efficiency, safety, environmental sustainability, social sustainability, recreation and tourism, and education and skills development.
The Major Projects Fund
The Major Projects Fund will be supporting larger-scale projects in the area, from 2026.
The Near Neighbour Fund
Residents living within a radius of 2km of Lenalea Wind Farm are entitled to a Near Neighbour payment of €1,000 per household.
Further details of each of the funds are available below:
