Full details from CVSC (North Hoyle Offshore Wind Farm, Greencoat UK Wind)
North Hoyle, the UK's first commercial offshore wind farm, is fully owned by Greencoat UK Wind and has supported local communities through a dedicated community fund since it began operating in 2004. Its original 20-year obligation ended in 2024, but the board agreed to keep supporting the community voluntarily until the wind farm is decommissioned; the 2024 contribution was £126,000 and rises with inflation. The fund serves Rhyl, Prestatyn and Meliden and is administered by Community and Voluntary Support Conwy (CVSC). Application forms and guidance notes are on CVSC's fund page, and CVSC asks applicants to contact the grants team for an initial discussion. No grant range or closing date is published on the page.
Download the application forms and guidance notes from CVSC's North Hoyle page, and contact the CVSC grants team for an initial discussion first: grants@cvsc.org.uk or 01492 523845.
