Our dedicated community team ensures consistency and focus is maintained throughout the development process. Only through working collaboratively with those living and working closest to our developments are our projects considered a success.
Muirhall Energy have been heavily involved in communicating with the surrounding communities of the Crossdykes development over the last 4 years. They have explained in great depth what is going to happen with the wind farm and have always been very proactive in clarifying any doubts that constituents may have. They have gone out of their way to make sure that all community groups are kept in the loop throughout development – far more than the various developers who have previously worked in the area, and are always determined to make sure that local people aren’t inconvenienced at any stage.

Fauldhouse Community Development Trust (FCDT) are delighted to announce that we have now entered into two separate Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Muirhall Energy Ltd. The first MOU will see FCDT receive £40k per year for 25 years towards our core costs. The second will see £10k per year for 25 years come to the Trust for distribution to local community-based groups and projects working within the Fauldhouse and Breich Valley villages. These payments will make a huge difference to the Trust and to our local communities. The payments mean that FCDT will be able to continue with its current programme of activities, groups and projects, and we will be able to develop a wide range of new projects and activities for the benefit of our communities. FCDT will also be able to support, via the small grants programme, local community-based groups and projects working within the Fauldhouse and Breich Valley villages.
