Residents near a proposed north wind farm are being offered £200 off their electricity bills if the turbines are built.
Developer RES have offered the deal to more than 500 properties in the Fort Augustus area nearest the proposed Culachy Windfarm.
They are hoping to build the 13 turbine development in the hills above Loch Ness.
The Glasgow-based company lodged plans late last year to build 12 turbines 490ft high, and a further machine measuring 433ft on the Culachy Estate.
They say that the newly launched local electricity discount scheme will be offered in addition to a community benefit fund which would worth around £195,000 per year.
Lisa Miller, RES development manager, said: “We are committed to providing direct and tangible benefits to the communities who host our renewable energy projects.
“The implementation of this innovative discount scheme is in response to feedback from communities near both existing and potential development sites which highlighted cheaper electricity as a practical benefit RES could offer.”
The planning application for the scheme was lodged with Highland Council late last year.
The company initially wanted to build 25 turbines on Culachy Estate between Invergarry and Fort Augustus, above the A82 Inverness to Fort William road.
But after a round of public consultations RES cut the number of turbines to 13.
A number of objections have been lodged against the windfarm.
Fort Augustus and Glenmoriston Community Council are among those raising concern, raising worries about the cumulative impact of the development with other turbines in the area.
They have also raised concern about the visual impact from parts of the town and other areas of mountain wilderness, including the Corrieyairack Pass.
Chairman Stuart Findlay said: “The closeness of the proposed Culachy windfarm to the local community of Fort Augustus is less than 3.7miles away and with turbines of 149.5metres high there will be areas within the community where the turbines will be visible.
“The section of the Corrieyairack Pass on General Wades Road is within the proposed windfarm site boundary where the visual impact of all the turbines would be massive.”
