For Communities Reaching carbon neutral through energy from the wind
Axpo supports the contributions of local governments and their communities to the energy transition and the achievement of their climate goals.
Wind farm developments can benefit local authorities and their communities, providing new sources of tax income and the possibility of leasing land. We take our responsibilities to local communities seriously, not only fulfilling our legal obligations but in some cases going beyond them. Local elected representatives and officials are involved at an early stage in the planning of wind farms, and Axpo is committed to clarity, fairness and respectful dealings with administrators, committees, council members and local communities. It is our firm belief that the greatest possible consensus across local councils and citizens is essential to a fair and stable planning process.
Your benefits
-
Involvement of local partners
Local and regional companies and service providers are welcome to participate in the hiring of any additional resources required both during and after construction. This includes, for example, contracts for road and path construction as well as the provision of electrical infrastructure.
-
Fulfilment of climate goals
The involvement of local communities and companies in construction is important to us, making it possible for communities to play an active role in the energy transition by championing renewable energies.
-
Improvement of infrastructure
The modernisation of local road networks within the area of the wind farm is another advantage offered by such developments.
-
Financial benefits
As a local authority, you can benefit financially from the construction of a wind farm. You receive taxes and proceeds from the operation of the wind farm and rental income from the leasing of municipal land.
