With match funding from other sources this means a total income of £5,000,000 for Prospects over the next 25 years.
There seems to be a silence on how this largesse will be allocated around the Borough. The turbines are turning so, one assumes, the cash will shortly be bolstering Prospects bank balance.
There is also silence on how Prospects were selected to receive this money.

This is the wrong place but seeing as you asked I will try and help.
No silence on how Prospect were selected, Energie Kontor have posted the information here
Community Fund : HyndburnWindFarm. As far as I know they approached The Prospects Foundation several years ago and invited them to submit a proposal for a community fund.
The actual amount will not be £100,000 a year. It is index linked and could increase each year.
No idea where you come up with the figure of £5 million income for prospects. If you read the link I posted it explains that money will be available for local groups to apply for. When and how that bidding process will work has not yet been decided.
If you want any more information I suggest to contact the charity manager on this page
