Windfall collects a proportion of the revenue from energy generation in Mid Wales and redistributes it among local communities. This money is offered as grants for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects to communities, householders, farmers, schools and businesses across Mid Wales. The basic income is supplemented through match funding from UK and EU sources to maximise the financial capacity of the scheme. Windfall (officially called the Mid Wales Community Energy Trust or MWCET) is a not-for-profit company set up specifically to fulfil these aims.

​

Communities who use Windfall will benefit from the well-established technical and financial  management capability of The Trust in developing and supporting sustainable energy projects throughout Mid Wales. For energy generators and utilities companies, wishing to demonstrate their financial commitment to the communities in which they operate, Windfall offers a complete off-the-shelf package to take on the responsibility of planning, management and delivery of community benefits from wind.

​

For the first time across Mid Wales, there is now a dedicated central point for the distribution of funding to sustainable energy projects.
