Thank you, Lithgow, for being an enduring host community for energy generation.
We are part of the Lithgow community too and we share the desire to address critical community needs and community led initiatives that can make a meaningful difference to the lives of Lithgow residents.
We are grateful to the Lithgow community for asking us how we can help, and we will continue to honour our enduring relationship with the community by delivering the Shared Benefit Program as part of the Lake Lyell Pumped Hydro Energy Storage project.
Many Shared Benefit Programs are already making an impact in communities across Australia by providing regular funding to community projects, local infrastructure upgrades, cultural heritage and addressing social challenges such as housing and health.
Shared Benefit Programs that operate over the long-life of energy assets can also take the pressure off local councils to find sustained and substantial funding for critical community needs or worthy initiatives.
It is our intention to continue our existing Community Grants programs and enhance how benefits are shared with the Lithgow community through this new multi-million-dollar Shared Benefit Program - developed with the community, for the community, and implemented by the community.
We look forward to continuing to contribute to the economic prosperity of Lithgow and to delivering the Shared Benefit Program which will form part of our new energy projects, and our final investment decisions.
Got an idea, event, program or initiative? We want to hear from you, by 31 March 2025 email: community@energyaustralia.com.au
