Vattenfall

2025 marks 10 years since Vattenfall’s Clashindarroch Wind Farm began generating renewable energy. To celebrate, we’re sharing stories that highlight the people, projects, and places behind its legacy.

One of these stories focuses on biodiversity and our decade-long efforts to protect and restore the land around the wind farm.

Guided by our Habitat Management Plan, we’ve restored peat bogs, planted native broadleaf trees, and maintained open moorland - bringing benefits for wildlife including insects, birds, and small mammals.

As part of our 10 Years, 10 Stories campaign, we’re proud to share how the Clashindarroch Wind Farm has been supporting communities here in the Cabrach over the past decade.

One of those stories is the Cabrach Picnic & Games – now a much-loved highlight of the summer calendar.

🎶🏆 From the Huntly Pipe Band, to the Highland Games competitions, Highland dancing, and the Historic Trophy presentation, the day was full of tradition, pride and community spirit.

Vattenfall was delighted to sponsor this year’s event through the Clashindarroch community fund, helping make sure it continues to thrive for years to come.

But the Picnic is just one part of what we’re supporting. Over the past 10 years, funding from Clashindarroch has also gone towards woodland walks, riverbank restoration, heritage and wellbeing projects – all helping to rejuvenate the area and support local wildlife.

Because for us, renewable energy isn’t just about powering homes, it’s about powering communities, nature and traditions too.

🎉The heart of Glass community has been given a new lease of life.

The newly refurbished Glass Community Hall is marking a significant step forward for community-led regeneration in Aberdeenshire. It is now a space transformed thanks to incredible community spirit and funding from the Vattenfall Clashindarroch Wind Farm Community Fund over the last 10 years.

We’re proud to feature the Glass Hall project in our campaign, highlighting a decade of investment in local communities.
