We consider social impact and community engagement a top priority and develop bespoke and innovative community benefit programs for local communities where we operate. We know that no two communities are the same, so for each project we work with the community to create a unique engagement and benefits program that shares the value of the project throughout the local area, in a way that really matters.

Since commencing our Australian operations in 2002, ACCIONA Energía has contributed more than $4.1 million to our communities through a combination of sponsorship, scholarship funding, and other community benefit initiatives.

    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.

    Social Impact Assessments are a key tool for measuring and improving the environment and communities with which we assess impacts.

    ACCIONA has its own methodology for identifying, assessing and managing all impacts of our projects.
