Airtricity Community Fund
Application Form 2014
SSE Airtricity Community Fund 2014 – Application Form
“At SSE Airtricity we believe in making
energy better. That’s why as well as
promoting green energy generation we
believe the communities in which we locate
our wind farms should be able to see and
experience the benefit of that wind farm in
their locality.”
What is a Community Fund?
The SSE Airtricity Community Fund aims to help energyefficiency and sustainability projects in the locality of our
wind farms. The fund is paid out annually; starting one
year after the wind farm starts producing electricity and
operates for the lifetime of each site.

Your project drives sustainability, by taking a long-term

How much does each fund pay?
The size of each Community Fund is different, although,
all annual funds are calculated based on the total
amount of electricity produced at the wind farm year on
year. So during particulary windy years, a windfarms
Community Fund will be bigger.
SSE Airtricity Community Liaison Officer,
Anne Reynolds, will contact all successful
applicants, letting them know how much funding
their respective projects are to be awarded.
