Local Benefits
For Your Community
Hornsdale Wind Farm will bring a range of benefits to Jamestown and surrounding areas.
Watch this video to see the benefits another Neoen project brought to communities in Wunghnu, Numurkah in regional Victoria.
ECONOMIC BENEFITS
Hornsdale Wind Farm, located in the Yorke and Mid North region, brings significant employment and economic support to local citizens and to the State more broadly.
COMMUNITY BENEFITS PROGRAM
Neoen has allocated an amount of $120,000 through its General Community Fund for not for profit community groups located within the Northern Areas Council where the Hornsdale Wind Farm and the Hornsdale Power Reserve are located. This fund helps to support local community initiatives and/or activities within the Council area.
We applied for a grant to install a wind turbine & solar panel array at the school. The purpose was for the students to understand the different streams of energy production. It was a very simple application process.”
