Welcome
to the Drone Hill Wind Farm

Construction underway

The wind farm was approved in December 2008 and we are pleased to announce that construction commenced in April 2011.

We have created this website to keep residents informed during construction.  You can keep an eye on site works through the construction photo diary, keep up to date with the community fund, and contact us with any comments or questions.

Community fund launch events

As you may know we are now launching our Drone Hill Wind Farm Community Fund. The fund will deliver £1 million to the local
community over the lifetime of the wind farm (£40,000 per year for 25 years).

Registered charities, not-for-profit and community groups in Reston and Auchencrow, Coldingham, Cockburnspath and Granthouse areas will be eligible to apply for funding.

We are holding two events to give residents the opportunity to find out more and apply.

Saturday 5th May: Coldingham Village Hall, 11am - 3pm

Thursday 10th May: Cockburnspath Village Hall, 5pm - 8pm

Anyone interested in seeking funding or sharing their ideas on how the fund could benefit the community should come along.
