Wind farms delivered over half a million euro (€500,000) to projects in Kerry last year through community benefit funds.
The total contribution across Ireland was more than €4.3 million, according to the annual Building Communities report from Wind Energy Ireland.
Funding was used to support a variety of local projects, from education initiatives and sports clubs, to installing solar panels and energy efficiency upgrades for community buildings.
