Local Employment & Procurement
We prioritise local contractors and suppliers during construction, and our operational teams are drawn from the regions where our projects are located.
Communities
Every CleanGen Project Starts With a Conversation
Before we assess wind speeds or solar yields, we sit down with the people who know the land best — the farmers, families, and communities who've called these regions home for generations.
We understand that inviting a renewable energy project onto your land is a significant decision.
That's why we take the time to listen, to understand what matters to you, and to ensure our projects deliver genuine, lasting benefits to the communities that host them.
From the Hunter Valley to regional Victoria, we're building relationships that extend well beyond construction. Our community liaison officers remain engaged throughout the life of each project, ensuring open communication and addressing concerns as they arise.
Supporting the People Behind the Projects
We believe the communities that host renewable energy projects should share in their success. That's why we commit to local procurement, employment opportunities, and direct investment in the initiatives that matter most to regional Australia.
Sponsorships & Grassroots Support
From women's sports programs to regional libraries, we support the organisations that bring communities together. Our partnerships with Cricket NSW and local sporting clubs reflect our commitment to regional life beyond energy.
Community Benefit Funds
Each CleanGen project includes a dedicated community benefit fund, providing ongoing financial support for local priorities identified by residents themselves.
Walking Together
CleanGen acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we operate and pay our respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We recognise that the Country we work on has been cared for by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples for tens of thousands of years.
Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Our commitment to reconciliation goes beyond acknowledgement. CleanGen is a registered Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) organisation, and we actively engage with First Nations communities in the planning and development of our projects. We're proud to partner with Aboriginal artists from the Hunter region, and we're committed to creating employment and procurement opportunities for Indigenous businesses.
