Community Benefits Program

Neoen has allocated an amount of $60,000 through its General Community Fund for not for profit community groups located within the Northern Areas Council where the Hornsdale Power Reserve and the Hornsdale Wind Farm are located. This fund helps to support local community initiatives and/or activities within the Council area.

The Community Benefit Sharing Program provides significant, meaningful benefits to communities around the Hornsdale Power Reserve.

Hornsdale Power Reserve has a $60,000 annual Community Benefit Fund which is administered by the Northern Areas Council.

It provides grants for local community groups including sports clubs, schools and environmental initiatives. The grants range from $1,000 to $8,000.
