Under Ireland’s RESS auction scheme, operational renewable projects must contribute to a Community Benefit Fund that supports local initiatives within a defined radius. The fund is administered in line with government guidelines and supports projects such as community facilities, environmental programmes, education and energy‑efficiency upgrades.
For non‑RESS projects, we provide support through sponsorships, strategic partnerships, school programmes, biodiversity actions and local engagement, as referenced in your document.
We engage with landowners, residents, community groups and public representatives early in the process through meetings, information sessions, site visits and transparent communication.
Landowners benefit from stable, long‑term income; low‑impact use of land; improved soil health; biodiversity enhancements; and guaranteed decommissioning at end of life. Leasing supports farm diversification while contributing to Ireland’s renewable‑energy targets.
