The third memorandum of understanding is with Brookfield Renewable UK Ltd (better known as Labrax wind farm) which was signed in September 2017. This wind farm has not even gone to construction yet so no figures have been given to the communities that will benefit as yet.

The wind farm money will be distributed every year and used with the aims of the Community Plan in mind. It may also be donated to community groups from the Kirkcolm parish.
