Mid Wales Community Energy Trust: Windfall
Windfall (Mid Wales Community Energy Trust) is a community benefit fund for Mid Wales. We grant aid projects that support the local community and economy, through actions related to energy, climate change and sustainability within the communities of Montgomeryshire. The money is provided to us voluntarily by developers of energy generation and other infrastructure.
Donations we receive are offered as grants for community investments near contributing wind farms or other developments. We are particularly interested in supporting:
- Renewable energy generation;
- Energy efficiency / demand reduction measures;
- Low carbon, shared, community and active travel initiatives;
- Educational activities in pursuit of sustainable development.
The project must benefit people in the Carno, Caersws, Trefeglwys, Dwyriw, Llanbrynmair or Llanerfyl Community Council areas. (Grants for communities in Montgomeryshire outside these six areas are expected to be publicised in Spring 2027.)
Co-funding from other sources will be welcomed.
The maximum grant is £25,000.
Organisations must:
- Be a constituted organisation (including simple unincorporated associations) with a bank account.
- Not distribute profits to private interests.
