ACCIONA Energia’s MacIntyre Wind Farm isn’t just delivering an additional 923MW of renewable energy to the region, it’s also investing in the community by way of jobs, partnerships, essential infrastructure and grants that promote health, education, sustainability, and cultural development.

ACCIONA invites small grants applications from community groups who wish to contribute to the sustainable development of the communities in which we operate. The nature of the sponsorship program is based on a combination of factors, including the size of the project, and is determined in consultation with the community. Applications are open from January to March annually.

ACCIONA implements an annual Scholarship Program at our sites when they enter the operations phase. Each year, we are proud to provide one-time scholarships of $5,000 to students wishing to undertake tertiary study that will benefit their community. Scholarship recipients are selected through an application process, and preference will be given to those studying engineering, science, or agricultural-based courses. Applications are open from February to March annually. 

The Neighbourhood Benefit Program is open to eligible residents close to the Mortlake South Wind Farm. It involves a pre-loaded EFTPOS card, where the funds loaded onto the card are able to be spent on goods and services from participating local businesses. Residents that permanently reside in a dwelling located within 4km of the Mortlake South Wind Farm are invited to apply.

The Neighbourhood Benefit Program re-opens each year in June. Please note that if you have previously registered for the program, there is no requirement to re-apply, cards will be posted to you automatically.
