Within this section:
We work with a wide range of suppliers to provide wind farm technology, engineering expertise and specialist services. We also use companies local to a wind farm during the development of a site, whenever possible, to ensure the local economy benefits from its build too.
Supplier case studies
EDF Energy Renewables has built strong relationships with Scottish industry – making a commitment to use towers manufactured in Scotland by CS Wind UK, using local supply chain companies, wherever possible, and developing renewables in areas like the Western Isles.
Nicola Sturgeon, First Minister of Scotland
Partners
We work with a number of partners to help us develop our renewable energy portfolio. In these instances, we provide the day-to-day operation, maintenance and management of the wind farm, and the community benefit fund arrangements. But partnering with other organisations gives us the opportunity to invest in more renewable energy sites and develop our expertise in this sector.

If you’re interested in investing in renewable energy, we’re interested in hearing from you. Please get in touch at info@edf-re.uk.
Corporate energy purchasers
We’re able to supply renewable energy direct from one of our wind farms to an organisation’s site, through what’s known as a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). This is an effective way for businesses to demonstrate their commitment to renewable energy; reduce their carbon footprint – by getting a low-carbon supply of energy; and to protect the cost of their energy for years to come.
Interested in getting your energy from us?
If you want to find out whether a Power Purchase Agreement might work for your organisation, please get in touch at info@edf-re.uk.
Wind turbines take up very little ground space, so farmers can continue to use their land for growing crops or grazing livestock. Wind turbines also don’t disturb sheep, cows or horses; at our wind farms in High Hedley Hope and Kirkheaton, the animals can be seen grazing right underneath the turbines.
If you’re a landowner and interested in getting in touch, please email info@edf-re.uk.
Working with us
We work very closely with landowners at all stages of the planning, development and operation of our wind farms.
Early investigative work is only carried out under contractual agreement with landowners. And if a site meets all of the requirements to be developed – and is granted planning permission – we work alongside landowners to ensure that the construction of the wind farm has the least impact on their day-to-day operations and their land as possible.
This means creating appropriate access routes for construction – and later on, maintenance – purposes. It also means, in the case of farming land, timing work so that it does not interfere with crops or other farming activities.
I enjoy working for EDF Renewables because we are a vibrant organisation bringing together a variety of skill sets all with the same aim: to deliver the renewable energy generation that the UK needs. I feel challenged and appreciated in equal measure, and genuinely believe that I have the ability to make a positive difference to our planet’s future.
