Aikengall II

Aikengall II Wind Farm, owned and operated by Community Windpower, was given planning consent by the Scottish Government in March 2013. The wind farm has 19 turbines with an installed capacity of 60.8 MW and is situated in the Lammermuir Hills in East Lothian. Further extensions of Aikengall II have been developed since.

Community Windpower has established a Community Benefit Fund as part of its ongoing commitments to communities in the vicinity of the Aikengall II Wind Farm.

The purpose of the fund is to enable community groups or individuals to carry out activities which will benefit the wider community or lead to environmental improvements to the area. Community Windpower committed to give Preston and Abbey Community Trust (PACT) £50,000 annually. Half of that sum for ten years, £250,000, was given to PACT in advance in order to finance the building of the Abbey St Bathans Village Hall, so until 2027 PACT receives £25,000 annually from this fund.
