Hide AdA spokesman for the company said: “DONG Energy recognises the strength in supporting local communities and believes this can be achieved in a number of ways. Community benefit funding offers a discretionary means of providing further support to local communities in the proximity of offshore windfarm schemes.”
The company says it is committed to a fund worth up to £650,000 a year during the lifetime of the latest windfarm - over the next 25 years. DONG Energy has employed a firm called GrantScape to run the session and manage the fund.
