The Renewable Energy Fund (REF) is a fund set up and administered by the Council to distribute developer contributions from wind farm developments within East Ayrshire.
Wind farms
There are currently four operational wind farms making a contribution to the Renewable Energy Fund:
- Afton wind farm
- Galawhistle wind farm
- Hare Hill wind farm extensions
- Whitelee wind farm
Who can apply
Applications to the REF are welcomed from constituted voluntary and community groups; social economy or social enterprise projects or from local authority or other agencies (only where the project is community based, is new and does not represent a substitution of core business activities).
Projects must also fit the REF criteria (PDF 307Kb). Further information is shown on the REF Settlement Eligibility Summary (PDF 421Kb)
