Boyndie Wind Farm Co-op purchased a stake in former World War II airfield from owners Falck Renewables in 2006 after raising £750.000! The 716 members, each with a shareholding ranging from £250 to £20,000 will receive annual interest on their shares.   

The wind farm has 7 turbines and when it’s operating fully it generates 14 MW of electricity. That is enough clean, green energy to supply around 8,500 homes – roughly equal to all the homes in Banff, Whitehills, Portsoy and all the nearby rural areas.
