Proud to make a difference
The SSE Airtricity Community Fund
SSE Airtricity is Ireland's leading provider of wind power. Through our Community Fund programme, we've so far contributed over €6.5m in voluntary annual funding to community groups close to our wind farms. We're proud to have supported over 2,000 forward-thinking and important local projects in that time.
Through our Be The Difference project, we also give each of our employees one day a year to support local communities and charities.

What we do
The SSE Airtricity Community Fund supports communities around each of our 28 wind farms through an annual fund, which is distributed to local groups for projects with a focus on energy efficiency, safety and sustainability.
View our community fund report
The fund for each wind farm:
- Starts one year after the wind farm starts producing electricity
- Runs for the lifetime of the wind farm
- Is set each year according to the electricity produced by the wind farm.
How to apply
Projects applying must be not-for-profit, community initiatives and within a 20-kilometre radius of the related wind farm. They should be targeted at improvements in energy efficiency, safety or sustainability.
