Community Benefit Fund

We’re committed to being a positive and responsible neighbour within the regions we operate in. We’ve established a Community Benefit Fund to support initiatives that deliver real, practical value for the people who live close to our renewable generation and storage sites.

The Fund is designed to align with industry standards and the scale of our project, ensuring that support is both meaningful and sustainable. We’re here to back local ideas that contribute to a vibrant, resilient community.

The Fund supports all of CleanPeak’s sites and the amount of money available for each site will vary from year to year. On average we anticipate disbursing approximately $5,000 per annum per 5MW site.

Supporting Local Projects in the Region Around Our Site

We welcome applications from local residents, community groups, and organisations with ideas that create tangible benefits for our region. If your project helps build a stronger, more connected community around our site, it may be a great fit for the Fund. Some examples include:

What we Support

How it Works

All submissions are assessed on an application‑by‑application basis. Projects are reviewed for local benefit and community impact, alignment with community needs and values, feasibility (including planning and budgeting), and the responsible, transparent use of funds.

While the Fund has a targeted scope, it’s focused on supporting initiatives that make a meaningful difference to the local area.

We encourage residents and community groups with suggestions to get in touch with us directly. Our team is happy to talk through your proposal, answer questions, and guide you through the application process.

We’d love to hear your ideas and explore how we can support positive outcomes in our community. Just send us an email and include the following:
