Strengthening communities, transforming local economies


We’re passionate about the communities in which we operate. Besides providing green energy for households and businesses, our onshore wind projects create jobs and economic benefits for local communities. 
Case study 

Lockett Onshore Wind Farm 

The Lockett Onshore Wind Farm in Wilbarger County, Texas, US, has delivered a significant economic boost to the local community. Over the life of the project, we’ll contribute more than USD 70 million in property taxes, all of which will go towards local schools and infrastructure improvements. 
Key benefits of onshore wind 

Supports landowners 

The farmers and ranchers who host our wind farms on their land can continue farming around the wind turbines. They receive lease payments from the wind farms that provide stable, long-term income. This cushions them from unpredictable agricultural prices. Learn more about benefits to landowners

Increases tax revenues 

Onshore wind farms like ours generate millions in new property tax revenue, which can be directed into local school districts, infrastructure, and county services. 

Brings direct investment in the local economy 

We reach out to landowners and community leaders to understand their needs and expectations. This means our green energy investment also increases local prosperity. 

Creates more jobs 

The wind power industry employed over 1.3 million workers worldwide in 2021.
