Scene has been working with the New Cumnock Community Council (NCCC), over the last three years to identify, understand and negotiate potential wind generation projects in the New Cumnock region. Supported by CARES and with an initial aim to understand shared ownerships opportunities in the nearby Ashmark Hill Wind Farm, Scene is now providing a strategic supporting role to NCCC in relation to a number of local shared ownership and community ownership opportunities.
With over 500 MW of wind generation operational or in planning near to New Cumnock, Scene has helped NCCC to analyse each opportunity, providing recommendations and a framework to simplify and progress each opportunity towards securing long term income for local community development. Support has included financial modelling and scenario analysis, business modelling.
