Ownership

The opening ceremony on 17 March 2013 was attended by about 100 local residents, on an overcast but conveniently windy day.

The Denmark project belongs to the community, thanks to the high number of local shareholders in the operating company — and everyone in Denmark, whether a shareholder or not, has access to 'home-grown' green energy.

The project is owned and operated by the Denmark community, with 90% of DCW shareholders being local residents. But whether a shareholder or not, every resident and visitor has access to “home-grown” green energy.

The Denmark Sustainability Fund—formerly DCW Inc, the group which initiated the windfarm proposal back in 2003—is a significant shareholder which returns its income from dividends to the local community by funding local enterprise projects.
