Our Story

Kirk Hill Coop Ltd is the majority shareholder in the UK's largest community windfarm project.

Located at Kirk Hill in South Ayrshire on the west coast of Scotland, the wind farm is owned and operated by Kirk Hill Wind Farm Ltd, a joint venture between Kirk Hill Coop Ltd and Bruntwood Ltd, a property management company based in Manchester.

Kirk Hill Coop has 5,600 members that live across the UK. Each of them purchased a ‘wattage amount’ of generation capacity for the 25-year lifetime of the project.

Members benefit from zero carbon electricity delivered via the national grid. For many members this equates to their entire annual electricity needs including to heat their homes and charge their EVs.

Members also receive a share of the profit from the sale of their electricity to suppliers, less grid charges and the costs of running the wind farm.

As profits go up when electricity costs are high, this has the effect of helping members to stabilise their energy bills over time.

The windfarm project was originally developed and managed by Ripple Energy Limited before they entered administration in March 2025. This did not affect the windfarm as ownership had already been transferred to Kirk Hill Wind Farm Limited, with separate service contracts in place to manage the site on a day-to-day basis. Neither Ripple Energy Limited nor their adminstrators have any legal relationship with the wind farm, Kirk Hill Wind Farm Ltd nor Kirk Hill Coop Ltd.
