Working with Communities

Statkraft works with local communities to deliver renewable energy projects that ensure that Ireland's homes and businesses can be powered by clean, green energy. Through our projects we can support local initiatives in communities via the Renewable Electricity Support Scheme (RESS) Community Benefit Fund which can  be used for the wider economic, environmental, social and cultural well-being of the local community. With a value of €2 per megawatt hour, some of the community benefit initiatives rolled out as a result of renewable energy projects developed by Statkraft in Ireland include:

•           Outdoor amenity areas 

•           Retrofitting housing schemes

•           Energy efficiency schemes

•           Sport and recreational facilities

•           Educational supports

•           Community spaces for locals 

•           Biodiversity initiatives
