We originate, design and develop renewable energy projects to benefit both people and the planet
At a glance
Clean energy projects are a great way to diversify income in an increasingly challenging rural economy.
We work in close partnership with landowners from the outset to unlock the full potential of their land, ensuring each project complements existing land uses and delivers long term economic benefits.
Community benefit funds have been established for our operational wind farms, and similar schemes will be set up for those now in development. These support a range local initiatives - from community facilities and education programmes to environmental projects.
We also offer opportunities for commuinity investment and prioritise local suppliers during construction and operation, ensuring our projects deliver benefits beyond clean energy.
Sustainability guides everything we do - from site selection all the way through the design process. We assess environmental, social, and economic impacts, working with independent experts to protect habitats, cut carbon emissions, and respect local landscapes. Our aim is to create clean energy projects with a lasting environmental legacy.

The project lifecycle explained
Potential new sites are carefully screened for environmental suitability, wind resource and proximity to the grid. For those that meet these criteria, commercial terms are agreed with the landowners and projects then move forward into development.
Detailed environmental surveys are undertaken, often over several years, to inform designs and avoid unacceptable impacts. Local communities are consulted, planning applications submitted, and connection agreements negotiated with the network operators.
Following planning approval, electricity sales contracts are negotiated and the project moves into construction. This typically takes 12–24 months, with local contractors used where possible. A community liaison group keeps residents informed throughout.
Once operational, a project generates clean power for 30–40 years. Very little ongoing maintenance is needed and availability levels are typically over 97%. Part of the income generated is used to support a local community fund.
At the end of a project’s life the wind turbines and other equipment are removed from site and the foundations broken down to a depth of at least a metre. The land is then restored or a fresh planning application submitted to develop a new project.
