Boyndie Co-op was established in 2005 for the purpose of owning a share in the Boyndie wind farm located at Boyndie Airfield in Banffshire. Boyndie Co-op is the first wind farm co-operative in Scotland and has given local people, and others, an opportunity to invest in the production of renewable energy. The energy Co-operative actually counts 689 members. The wind farm has 8 turbines and when it operates fully it generates 16.30 MW of electricity. That is enough clean, green energy to supply around 9,100 homes – roughly equal to all the homes in Banff, Whitehills, Portsoy and all the nearby rural areas. The Boyndie Wind Farm Co-op is part of a family of co-ops being developed by Energy4All Ltd in partnership with Falck Renewables Wind Limited.
