Company founder and Managing Director Chris Walker established Muirhall Energy Ltd’s first wind farm at Muirhall Farm, South Lanarkshire in 2011.
Subsequently, the Company undertook larger projects and devised new support initiatives, providing guaranteed funding for communities over the lifespan of the wind farms, well in excess of the required minimum. Building on the success of these initiatives, Muirhall Energy Ltd become an exemplar, recognised for its community-focussed ethos.
In 2017 the team’s innovative approach to solving aviation concerns at Edinburgh Airport saw the 15 turbine Tormywheel Windfarm constructed. Once again, Muirhall’s community benefit commitment was well above industry standards and those commitments were safeguarded when the project was later sold.
Muirhall’s policy of implementing substantial Initial Investment Funds have contributed to numerous community-led projects and initiatives, funding everything from sports teams to community transport. We are now offering shared ownership opportunities for communities of up to 10% equity in new projects. Shared ownership will enable communities to co-invest in our projects, ensuring a significant income stream for the community over the lifetime of the windfarm.
Now with a growing team of highly skilled professionals with competencies ranging from grid access and development to project management and construction, Muirhall Energy Ltd remains focussed on contributing to Scotland’s ambition to achieve net zero carbon emissions while simultaneously delivering real and tangible benefits for people and communities across the country.
