Cleve Wind Farm - 500 MW Renewable Energy Project by Vestas

Our Approach

Honest and transparent communications

We will keep community and stakeholders informed by providing timely and factual information throughout the project lifecycle.

An opportunity to have your say

We would like your feedback on local values, community engagement activities and project benefits. The information you provide through this link will help inform the design and benefits of the Project.

Genuine and meaningful consultation

We will seek to maximise the social and economic benefit to the local community.

Community Benefit Fund

Vestas is committed to sharing the benefits of our renewable energy development with the communities we work alongside. In line with the Clean Energy Council’s (CEC) Guide to Benefit Sharing, we strive to ensure that the rewards of our proposed wind farm contribute equitably to the vitality and future success of the region in which the wind farm will operate.

As part of this commitment, Vestas will establish a Community Benefit Fund for the Cleve Wind Farm Project. We are currently in the planning phase and have begun engaging with the community to gather input and feedback.

If you’re interested in getting involved or staying informed, please subscribe to project updates at the top of this page.
