Bankable models which enable local community wind farm ownership

URN No: 06/1816

This report describes practical ways for communities to achieve part ownership of commercially developed windpower schemes.  It details potential models of community ownership in wind farms that are
acceptable to lending institutions, developers and communities.  The intention is that such acceptability will facilitate increased community ownership and help the Government to reach its renewable energy target by 2010.

The report is not intended to be a guide for communities seeking to raise finance in order to set up a wind farm (other reports of this nature are available).  It is intended first and foremost to establish ways to enable local ownership which fit with typical financing structures for commercial wind farm developments.

The 'Bankable Models which Enable Local Community Wind Farm Ownership' report is available under 'Related Documents'.

It should be read in conjunction with the 'Delivering Community Benefits from Wind Energy Development - A Toolkit' report also available under 'Related Documents'.
