PROJECT OUTLINE
The two 500kW Community Wind Turbines in Kingswood, Stroud are owned and operated by Resilient Energy Mounteneys Renewables (REMR), a registered Community Benefit Society. The society is owned by its members, who subscribed to shares in the society, and provided the funds required to develop the project.
In addition to the environmental benefits directly associated with the generation of renewable energy, the society is committed to making a positive difference locally.
ADVISORY PANEL VACANCY
There is currently a vacancy on the Advisory Panel. If you are a local resident interested in assisting the society in allocating its Community Resilience Funds through the Advisory Panel, an Application Form (comprising just four questions) can be accessed via the tab at the top of the page.
THE REMR COMMUNITY RESILIENCE FUND
The society has committed to allocating a share of its turnover to help build community resilience in Kingswood, Wickwar, Hillesley, and the surrounding areas, by addressing current community needs and future community challenges. This is implemented via the REMR Community Resilience Fund.
The available funding fluctuates each year, dependent on the wind speeds experienced and the subsequent income the society receives for electricity exported to the local grid.
There are typically two funding rounds each year, with application deadlines of April 30 and October 31. Allocations of available funding at each round are decided with input from an Advisory Panel of local residents representing the three villages. The Fund Criteria and Fund Application form can be accessed using the tabs at the top of the page.
