SSE - Dumfries & Galloway Sustainable Development Fund
Details
SSE created the Sustainable Development Fund as part of its community benefit arrangements from its onshore renewable energy developments in Dumfries and Galloway, the Clyde wind farm extension construction funding and Balmurrie Fell wind farm.
The fund is to be used to provide support for strategic projects in Dumfries and Galloway. Successful projects will have the potential to make a significant and sustainable difference to people within the region.
The priority areas are:
- Creating opportunities: increase opportunities for education and employment
- Empowering communities: build resilience and protect vulnerable residents
- Building sustainable places: stimulate meaningful community regeneration
Additional consideration will be given to projects that demonstrate:
- Value for money – evidence that the project has a high local impact for the amount invested.
- Community involvement – evidence that the community has been engaged in developing the project. This may be in the form of surveys, community consultations, open days or letters of support.
- Financial Sustainability – evidence that the project will be maintained beyond the period of grant funding.
- Contribution to local economy – evidence that the project will have a positive impact on the local economy in the long term.
