SSE Renewables has donated around £9.6m to community groups across the UK and Ireland, as revealed in the company’s Community Investment Review.

More than 1,048 community projects from beekeeping in County Sligo to hosting a Science Festival in Biggar have benefitted from the commitment to invest in the communities near their offshore and onshore renewable energy developments. The funding decisions are made by local people ensuring that communities have control over how to enhance their local area. 

Stephen Wheeler, MD of SSE Renewables said: “It is clear from our Community Investment Review, and the transformational nature of the projects that are being funded, that by working together we can power genuine change. Communities have been growing their ambitions, and our funding and support is helping them to deliver on their aspirations.”
