Footnotes:
1 Homes equivalent. Assuming the proposed wind
farm has an installed capacity of 77.5MW, based
on thirty one 2.5 MW turbines being erected on
site . It has the potential to supply in the region of
43,000 homes. Predicted energy generation has
been calculated using an assumed capacity of
30% (DTI Energy Trends UK regional capacity
factors 1998-2004) and is based on an installed
capacity of 77.5MW (note that the installed
capacity maybe higher or lower, subject to the
final turbine choice). The energy capture
predicted and the derived homes equivalent
Community
benefits
As reported in Issue One, if we are
successful in gaining consent, RWE npower
renewables intends to offer a community
benefit package in association with Allt
Duine Wind Farm.
The total value of the package is
dependent on the installed capacity of the
wind farm. Normally it takes the form of an
annual fund, which is available when the
wind farm is operational and throughout its
operational lifetime – in Allt Duine’s case
this is expected to be 25 years. We would
consult with a wide cross section of
community representatives before finalising
the details of the package.
Community benefit packages are a voluntary
benefit that RWE npower renewables
chooses to offer and are not a material
consideration of any planning decision.
You can help us shape the Community
Benefits Package at Allt Duine, to make
sure it really meets the needs of your
community, we would welcome
your feedback. Please contact our
Community Investment Officer at

Quay, 150 Broomielaw, Glasgow G2 8LU.
Please clearly reference ‘Allt Duine Wind Farm’
to ensure your comments are submitted for
the correct planning application.
The consultation period is open until
13th April 2011.
figures may change as site specific information is
gathered. Equivalent homes supplied is based on
an annual electricity consumption per home of
4,700 kWh. This figure is supported by recent
domestic electricity consumption data available
from The Digest of UK Energy Statistics and
household estimates and projections from the UK
Statistics Authority.
