9CCG Community Benefit Funding Matrix

The first 3 rounds of community benefit to be disbursed to our 9 communities will be from the North Kyle Wind Farm’s Boost Funding.

The specific allocations for each community are determined using a fair-share and equitable method - referred to as ‘The Matrix’. The 3 indicators that calculate each individual communities’ allocation are:

  • Population

  • Distance from turbines

  • Scottish index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD)
