Local Collaboration and Impact
Direct financial benefit to residents
Residents living within 2–3 kilometres of the wind park will receive direct financial compensation. For turbines planned within the Parika Wind area, compensation is offered to households located within 2 kilometres of a turbine. The compensation amount depends on the park’s annual production and the electricity price (estimated at 0.7–1% of revenues).
Infrastructure development
Construction of the wind park will include improvements to local infrastructure – such as new and upgraded access roads, crossings, and utility connections – enhancing connectivity and safety in the area.
Support for local business and economy
Locally produced green electricity will strengthen the future competitiveness of energy-intensive sectors such as wood processing, forestry, and agriculture by providing access to clean energy.
The project will stimulate local economic activity, generate tax revenue, and create new job opportunities during construction and operation.
