Boyndie Wind Farm Co-op

The First wind farm co-operative in Scotland. Boyndie Co-op owns a stake in the Boyndie Wind Farm in Banff, Aberdeenshire: bringing wind energy into community ownership, and channelling more benefits into the local area.

The Turbines

Location

Located on the north coast of Aberdeenshire between Portsoy and Banff, Boyndie Wind Farm has 8 turbines and an operational capacity of 16.30 MW of electricity. That is enough clean, green electricity to supply all the homes in Banff, Whitehills, Portsoy and all the nearby rural areas.

Co-op Aim

The aim of the co-op is  to help support a transition away from less sustainable energy resources.

Your Co-op

Rising energy costs, energy security, and climate change are some of the greatest challenges we face today. As fossil fuel supplies decline and global demand increases, the need for sustainable energy has become urgent. Wind power is now a reliable and practical alternative to traditional electricity generation. The Boyndie Wind Farm Co-operative enables individuals and organisations to play an active role in creating a more sustainable energy future.

The Boyndie Wind Farm Co-op is part of a family of co-ops developed by Energy4All in partnership with Nadara (formerly Falck Renewables Wind).
