Financial participation
Financial participation refers to securing the means to finance the wind farm and to actively involve people by investing in the wind farm. Examples of financial participation are:
- Bonds: low risk, lower return;
- Shares: higher risk, higher return;
- Selling.
A customised financial participation model is prepared for every wind farm with the assistance of financial and legal specialists. This model answers questions such as: which type of financial participation is suitable for which target group? Which costs for a wind farm would I like to finance through the aforementioned forms of crowdfunding? Which costs do I want to have financed? The inclusion of construction costs for instance, involves a bigger risk for investors. This could be part of a wider participation plan.
Financial compensation
Compensation relates to the ways in which adverse effects are reduced and mitigated. We like to help you with ideas about the various forms. Examples are:
- An area fund to improve the well-being of the community;
- Creating work with work: specifically using some of the wind farm’s yield for a project;
- Immediate financial compensation: making an amount of money available for a specific number of affected parties and/or local residents;
- A discount on the price of electricity, with the discount increasing the closer you get to the wind farm;
- Plan compensation: making an amount of money available by changing the zoning plan amendment or the zoning plan.
