community benefits program

We believe in sharing the benefits of renewable energies with the communities we operate in.

We expect to contribute $10 million to the communities over the life time of the project in a number of ways.

The Community Benefits Sharing Program will provide significant, meaningful benefits to communities around the Culcairn Solar Farm.

We allocate funds to local community projects such as sports, clubs, tourism and heritage via a yearly grants process.

ECONOMIC BENEFITS

We project a $400-500 million infrastructure investment during the lifetime of the project.

During construction, we estimate around 400 jobs will be created with an economic boost for local accommodation and service sectors. After construction, around 7 jobs will be created during operations of the project.

We hope to begin hiring before construction in late 2020.
