***TBC - Running tally of total community spend***
We pledge an industry-leading £7,000 per MW of community investment funds for our larger projects, far in excess of the £5,000 per MW recommended by the Scottish Government’s Good Practice Principals for Community Benefits.
This pledge, over the 40-year lifespan of the average windfarm, is transformative to rural communities, allowing investment and larger capital projects to be considered by communities, with funding distributed by our communities, in our communities, for our communities.
Muirhall’s community investment funding is used as the exemplar by the Scottish Government and UK Government as Good Practice in the Scottish onshore wind industry.
In addition to providing funding directly to communities, we are proud of our added value contributions such as:
- Local businesses and supply chains are strengthened by prioritised sub-contracted work at preferred tender rates.
- Development and delivery of accredited renewables courses at local colleges; encouraging learning and careers in renewables at schools.
- Support of diverse local initiatives through ongoing sponsorship and funding.
- Extending site fibre to improve rural connectivity for local communities

Skye Sailing
"Thank you so much for the funds to be able to offer the taster experience to the Primary 7s of Skye this summer. We managed to take a total of 79 pupils and some of their teachers out on the water. We have had great feedback from the schools and some of the kids have signed up to do more sailing with us!"
Borders College
”The sponsorship received from Muirhall has allowed us to upskill and retrain some of our own staff to deliver new courses, and it has also allowed us to backfill those staff to either complete the training or deliver the training.”
Burnfoot Hub
"Without companies like yourselves supporting us it would be almost impossible to keep the Friday morning sessions going and for many of those who attend it is a lifeline and often their only social contact of the week."
Drumlanrig
"I am writing to express our sincere gratitude for Muirhall's generous sponsorship. Your support has played a vital role in making Happy Feet at Drumlanrig Primary school a success and has helped us create a day of fun, creativity and community action."
