Community Benefit Funds

to empower local communities

We are deeply committed to reinvesting earnings from our renewable energy projects to foster growth and sustainability within local communities. In France, RWE has been fostering community development by offering local development projects during the construction phase. By creating community benefit funds, we want to go further and help communities thrive by sharing the value of our renewable energy projects during all phases of our projects.

How does it work ?

Each year, we reinvest earnings from our renewable energy projects based on their capacity, and issue calls for local projects. Local associations can then submit a community-related project to request funding. This investment isn't just about financial support; it's about empowering communities, supporting France’s energy transition and building a lasting legacy for future generations.
