As the renewable energy industry matures, community benefit sharing is becoming increasingly commonplace as a means to integrate renewable energy developments into local communities in ways that are positive, rewarding and beneficial for both project proponents and local communities.
In October 2019, the Clean Energy Council released a research report on benefit sharing options for renewable energy projects.
The research report A Guide to Benefit Sharing Options for Renewable Energy Projects provides a comprehensive study of the various community benefit sharing options available to the proponents of large-scale renewable energy projects.
Featuring a number of detailed case studies on the benefit sharing strategies employed at existing projects, the guide serves as a practical tool to assist project proponents, financiers, policy makers and communities in understanding the range of benefit sharing methods available.
