Building strong relationships

We work with the community to create a unique engagement and benefits program that shares the value of the project

ACCIONA Energía is proud to be involved with the local community

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.

    Supporting Local Agricultural Communities

    As part of ACCIONA Energia's commitment to creating lasting value in communities where we operate, ACCIONA Energia has partnered with Queensland Farmers' Federation (QFF) to deliver the Energy Southern Queensland (EnergySQ) program, a practical initiative helping farmers in regional Queensland understand and optimise their energy consumption while reducing carbon emissions.

     

    Through individual assessments, farmers receive expert guidance on reducing energy costs and improving efficiency, while contributing to broader sustainability goals. This partnership demonstrates how the benefits of the MacIntyre Wind Farm extend beyond renewable energy generation to deliver practical, on-the-ground support for the agricultural sector, a foundation for these communities.

    Social Impact

    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.
