Clayfords is one of two wind turbines located close to the small village of Strichen, Aberdeenshire. Auchtygills and Clayfords both started generating clean electricity in 2016 and together made a combined community benefit payment to the local council. The funds were used to carry out energy efficiency and environmental improvements to housing stock in the area, as well as contributing to educational and art projects through the Mintlaw Academy.

In 2022, we helped Strichen Playgroup install double glazing through our Community Benefit Programme. Our funding has enabled them to create a warmer, more energy efficient space.
