ACCIONA Energía is proud to be involved with our local communities

Since commencing our Australian operations in 2002, ACCIONA Energía has contributed more than $4.1 million to local communities through a combination of grants, scholarship funding, and other community benefits programs. For each project, we collaborate with local communities to create unique engagement and benefit programs that share the value of the project throughout local areas, in a way that really matters. Our focus is on supporting local initiatives that contribute to the health, education, sustainability, conservation, and cultural development within our local communities.

  • Scholarships

    Each year, ACCIONA Energía are proud to provide a one-time scholarship of $5000 to students wishing to undertake tertiary education that will benefit their community. Scholarship recipients are selected through an application process, and preference will be given to those studying engineering, science or agricultural based courses.

    The 2025 Scholarship Program for Waubra, Mt Gellibrand, Mortlake South and Gunning Wind Farms will open for applications in February 2025.
