Community Benefits
As part of Recurrent Energy’s collaboration with Microsoft and through its Community CaRE program, a dedicated community benefit fund has been established for Carwarp Energy Park. The fund will be administered in Australia by Groundswell Giving, and the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal (FRRR). It is designed to support community-led climate and environmental initiatives in rural and metropolitan communities, connected to the project’s wider energy and infrastructure footprint, including initiatives led by First Nations communities. This reinforces Recurrent Energy and Microsoft’s shared commitment to ensuring the energy transition delivers both clean power and enduring community value.
