CWP Energy, in partnership with Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK and Vestas, is proud to support Kello Rovers Football Club through continued investment in local community facilities and grassroots sport as part of the Sanquhar II Wind Farm project.
Through funding linked to the wind farm development, investment is being made to improve facilities at Kello Rovers FC, helping secure the future of one of the area’s most valued community clubs.
The latest phase of support includes a collaborative contribution from CWP Energy, Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK and Vestas, with the organisations contributing a total of £4,545 towards improvements at Kello Rovers FC facilities. The funding will support the purchase and installation of new goalposts, helping to enhance the club’s playing facilities for current and future generations.
Together, the investment is helping to enhance the experience for players, supporters, volunteers and visitors while ensuring the club remains a vital hub for the local community.
CWP Energy and its partners recognise the important role grassroots football clubs play in bringing communities together, supporting young people, and promoting health and wellbeing across the region.
Sanquhar II Wind Farm, currently under construction in southern Scotland, represents one of the UK’s largest onshore renewable energy developments and is expected to deliver long-term economic and social benefits to local communities throughout its lifespan.
Construction of Sanquhar II is already supporting local jobs, businesses and suppliers, with many workers and contractors drawn from the surrounding area.
CWP Energy continues to work closely with local organisations and community groups to ensure long-term benefits are delivered alongside the transition to renewable energy.
Rod Wood MBE, Managing Director of CWP Energy, said:
“Supporting local communities is a fundamental part of our approach at CWP Energy. We are delighted to support investment in Kello Rovers FC and help improve facilities that are so important to local people. Working alongside our project partners, including Jones Bros and
Vestas, we are committed to creating lasting positive impacts through the Sanquhar II Wind Farm project.”
Michaela Baldock, Site Agent, Jones Bros Civil Engineering UK, said:
“We’re proud to support Kello Rovers FC and give something back to the local communities surrounding the Sanquhar II Wind Farm project. As construction progresses, it’s important that our work leaves a positive legacy beyond the project itself. Local clubs like Kello Rovers play a vital role in bringing people together and creating lasting connections within the community, and we’re delighted to contribute to that.”
Ahmad El Khatib, Project Manager, Vestas, said:
“We are grateful to CWP for the opportunity to support Kello Rovers FC. While many members of the Vestas team are not from Scotland, this is our way of saying thank you for the warm welcome we have received from the local community. Supporting local initiatives is a cause we are proud to be part of, and we are pleased to contribute to a project that will benefit current and future generations. Thank you to the people of Dumfries and Galloway and thank you to CWP for making this possible.”
