The BnM Educational Scholarship Scheme provided support to 11 Offaly students.
BnM is recognising recipients of more than €700,000 in community funding and supports in the midlands.
An awards ceremony at the Tullamore Court Hotel recognised recipients from the Derrinlough, Mountlucas and Cloncreen renewable energy projects.
11 Offaly students received support through the BnM Educational Scholarship Scheme, which acknowledges the positive impact of BnM’s Community Benefit Funds, educational scholarships, and near-neighbour supports.
The Cathaoirleach of Offaly County Council, John Leahy, highlighted the growing impact of BnM’s Community Benefit Funds across Offaly: “Tonight is a celebration of the people and projects strengthening communities across Offaly and beyond. BnM’s Community Benefit Funds and Community Gain Schemes have delivered lasting investment in local facilities, services, clubs and initiatives, and that impact will continue to grow.”
“Offaly is a leader in renewable energy generation, and it is important that communities hosting this infrastructure see real, long-term benefits. I also want to acknowledge the volunteers, fund committee members and local organisations helping to direct this funding to the projects that matter most.”
Brendan Connolly, Head of Asset Management and Trading at BnM, said: “Community benefit is central to how BnM develops and operates renewable energy infrastructure. As we develop indigenous renewable projects to support Ireland’s energy security, it is essential that host communities share in the long-term value they create.”
“Through our Community Benefit Funds, Community Gain Schemes, Educational Scholarship Schemes and Near Neighbour supports, BnM is investing in projects that strengthen communities, support sustainability, improve local amenities and create opportunities for future generations.”
