Woolley Hill Wind Farm provides a Community Benefit Fund of £20,000 per year, index linked, to support local social and environmental projects. The Community Benefit Fund is part of a community benefits package totalling £50,000 per year. The first payment was made in 2015.

The fund is administered by Cambridgeshire Community Foundation (CCF), but decisions about where the money is spent are made by a Fund Panel of local people.

More information about the Woolley Hill Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund and how to apply for support can be found on the CCF website.

Since the early 2010s, RES has been operating its unique Local Electricity Discount Scheme (LEDS), which was developed in response to feedback from the communities around its wind farm projects.  LEDS offers a direct and tangible benefit to residential, business and community properties closest to participating operational renewable energy projects in Great Britain and Northern Ireland through an annual discount on their electricity bills.

RES made the first LEDS payments at Woolley Hill in 2015.   Eligible registered properties will continue to receive annual LEDS payments for the operational life of the wind farm.

At Woolley Hill, the discount is offered to properties within 2 kilometres of Woolley Hill Wind Farm and built prior to October 2013.
