Good neighbours with Ignitis Renewables

People living next to the wind farms we are developing cherish, nurture and protect their environment. As good neighbours, we respect and understand the concerns the locals might have regarding any potential changes. This is why we’re striving to build a relationship with local communities based on openness and good will, for it is the foundation of being a good neighbour.

In our efforts to be good neighbours and build mutual trust, we actively listen to the needs and expectations of local communities and we share relevant information about our projects, including their environmental impact and the measures we take to mitigate it.

Along our contributions to protect the environment, improve the quality of life and promote energy efficiency, we provide financial support for community projects.

“For us, renewable energy is first and foremost about the people and the connection to the places where we work. The strength of the communities located near our projects unravels before. New spaces, traditions and gathering places are born through ideas, effort of the locals as well as joint initiatives. That is why, for us, this is not just about developing wind farms and generating green energy, this is also about being good neighbours, which is listening, talking to each other, creating together and contributing to the growth of vital and active communities. We believe that these attributes are at the core of building trust and being good and united neighbours.”

Giedrė Skerniškienė, Community Coordinator at Ignitis Renewables
