The EDF Renewables Australia team and Project developers Newcastle Offshore Wind Energy Pty Ltd (NOWE) are deeply committed to working with local communities.
NOWE has over a decade of experience connecting with the wider Hunter-Central Coast region, while EDF Renewables has a history of successful community involvement.
With its wealth of experience, EDF Renewables understand the necessity of community involvement and is committed to maximising opportunities and benefits for the local community. This means jobs for locals, opportunities for local contractors and service providers as well as offering community support.
In acquiring the project, EDF have committed to regular, open, and transparent community consultation and will continue to engage with the Newcastle community as the project progresses.
As the project develops, we will share updates with the community and other stakeholders. We welcome you to sign up to receive project updates by email or to contact us with any questions you have.
