Altahullion Wind Farm Repower

RES believes in meaningful and productive consultation, and we aim to engage early with the local community and key stakeholders in order to facilitate constructive consultation. This helps to identify issues and concerns, as well as benefits and opportunities, which we can then consider when developing the design of the proposal.

At the Public Exhibitions we have presented our proposed design drawings. Feedback from the local community is important at this stage of our pre-application consultation when it can have a direct influence on the final design of the project.

We would be grateful if you could take the time to fill out this comments form with your feedback. Please provide feedback by Friday 31 July. Comments will still be accepted after this date but may not be considered in relation to the design development.

Please note that comments submitted to RES at this time are not representations to the determining authority (Strategic Planning Directorate Department for Infrastructure). There will be an opportunity to submit representations to the determining authority should an application be made.

3. Local benefits

The Altahullion Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund has been providing annual funds to local community groups since 2004. This grassroots approach has ensured that investment reaches the people and projects that matter most. From local facilities and services to community initiatives that strengthen culture and community. We are committed to ensure this continues.

RES and TRIG are proposing to deliver a tailored community benefits package aligned with the priorities of the local community. It could continue to include RES’ unique Local Electricity Discount Scheme (LEDS), which offers an annual discount on the electricity bills of those properties closest to a participating wind farm. The community benefit package will be informed by feedback from the community, so we are keen to understand what initiatives the community would like to see supported by the benefits package.
