COMMUNITY BENEFIT

Sam Mayes Community Relations Coordinator, RES LOCAL ELECTRICITY DISCOUNT SCHEME (LEDS)

• LEDS has been developed in response to feedback from local communities

• Offers residential, community and business properties closest to RES’ Jacks’ Lane Wind Farm an annual discount of £117 off their electricity bills

• Discounts paid directly to the electricity supplier will commence once the wind farm is operational

• No requirement to change electricity supplier or tariff LEDS QUALIFYING AREA

The Qualifying Area for each RES LEDS scheme is calculated by taking a straight line distance - the Set Distance - from each wind turbine and identifying all the postcode geographic boundaries (as defined by Ordnance Survey) with properties located within this Set Distance.

The Set Distance is chosen so that the number of properties that fall within the Qualifying Area will receive a discount of at least £100 per year.

13 COMMUNITY BENEFIT FUND

The Jack’s Lane Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund will support local groups and initiatives in the wider community.

It will become available once the wind farm is fully operational.

15 FUND PANEL

The Fund Panel is the decision-making body. It is made up of representatives of the community within the Area of Benefit and meets at an agreed frequency to assess applications and make decisions about how the Fund is distributed.

The NCF will work with the CLG to gain nominations for suitable representatives to sit on the Fund Panel.

Meetings of the Fund Panel are distinct and separate from CLG meetings, although progress on the formation of the Panel and allocation of the Fund will be reported to the CLG.

16 PROPOSED AREA OF BENEFIT

Preference will be given to applications from groups or for projects benefiting those who live and work within 7km of Jack’s Lane Wind Farm, and the parish boundaries of:

Bagthorpe with Barmer, Barwick, , , Burnham Thorpe, Docking, , Houghton, , , , and Tatterset.
