DPBT General Guidance

Thank you for your interest in our community benefit funding. The Millour Hill and Millour Hill Extension Community Wind Farms have established a Community Benefit fund as part of its ongoing commitments to host communities of the wind farm. The purpose of the fund is to provide financial support to communities,  groups or individuals to assist them in carrying  out educational ,  social and environmental improvements in the Dalry area.
