Venn Energy has committed to a neighbour and community benefit sharing program to help support the local community, with contributions of a minimum of $500/MWac (of installed solar capacity) per year, over the expected 30-year operational life of the project.
The Lambruk Solar Project team is committed to ensuring the economic benefits of the project are shared with the wider Loomberah region in a meaningful and lasting way. Investing in local projects and initiatives that help create a sustainable and growing community is a priority for us.
Funding may include initiatives that support health and wellbeing, local skills development and training, education, population growth and retention, economic development, and sustainability of the natural environment, among others. Venn Energy’s intention is that the community benefit fund will support and further strengthen the positive legacy of the Loomberah community.
The Lambruk Solar Project will deliver a number of positive socio-economic benefits including up to 350 jobs during construction and 15 full-time equivalent jobs during operations and maintenance.
Venn Energy is committed to using local suppliers and contractors wherever possible and has partnered with Industry Capability Network (ICN) to provide a platform for local and regional businesses to register their interest in project opportunities. Registration on the ICN platform is free – just create a business profile and select the works package/s you’d like to register for.
Engagement of contractors and the procurement of goods and services for the Project will be undertaken by a Principal Contractor, who has not yet been appointed. The purpose of this registration of interest is to gauge local capacity and supply to encourage the use of local businesses.
