Applications for the Reconstitution Scheme for Windblow have been open since 15th April 2026. To date there have been 33 applications submitted with one approval issued. Of those submitted my Department is actively prioritising the requisite administrative and inspectorate checks.

Consequently, at this stage, there have not been any applications for payments.
