Our 250 members share ownership of 2 medium-scale turbines. Our community fund is now supporting a local healthy food initiative.
Heartland Community Wind is a Community Benefit Society. We own and run two wind turbines in the heartland of Scotland, near Aberfeldy.
The turbines are 100% owned by our members – both locals and members from further afield. We generate green energy and our surplus goes into our community fund. So far, this has provided scholarships for local young people attending Perth College and assisted Healthiest Town Aberfeldy deliver advice on affordable, healthy food, sustainability and healthier living.
The project is based on Dingwall Wind Co-op and Wester Derry Wind Co-op who have over 380 members between them – Heartland Wind was founded by members of the core team which established those projects.
