Power For Good Report

Our sustainability report provides our environmental, social and governance strategy and activity, and highlights the achievements of our company and our people for the 2024 financial year.

Read the full report

Our vision is to create a future where everyone has access to affordable zero carbon energy.

Bold perhaps, but achievable, certainly.

We believe innovation, with purpose, is the key to ensuring a zero carbon energy future and helping create an energy industry that drives positive environmental, economic, and social change.

Power for Good

Actions, they say, are louder than words. Here are just a few of the things we have done this last year to act on our commitments. Striving to become more than ever, a true power for good.

Bringing solar power to Nepal

Since 2019, in collaboration with our charity partner, we’ve been installing renewable energy systems to bring access to clean energy to community initiatives across Nepal.
In October 2024, for the fourth time, our volunteers from around the world came together in Nepal. this time to bring solar power to a non-for-profit children’s hospital in Damak.

Protecting the hazel dormouse in Germany

The hazel dormouse is one of Germany’s rarest forest dwellers, vital for biodiversity but threatened by habitat loss. At a wind farm in Southwest Germany, our team worked with care to create new shelter and nesting sites to support this species at a project. To enhance the suitable dormouse habitat, we created well-structured forest edge areas and planting additional fruit-bearing shrubs. In addition, 48 nest boxes were installed on the trees, which have already been accepted by the dormouse.

Enhancing biodiversity at solar farms in UK

In 2022, we collaborated with our customer at several of their UK solar farms to proactively introduce biodiversity enhancements, going beyond standard habitat management practices. Monitoring reports in 2024 have revealed a rich diversity of flora and fauna across the solar farms, including numerous species of butterflies, bees, wildflowers, and breeding birds, with several red-listed Species of Conservation Concern, such as the Turtle Dove. Biodiversity net gain calculations have shown the farms exceeding their 10% target, demonstrating the positive impact of these enhancements on local wildlife and the environment.

Giving a second life to components

Since 2021, we have been repairing and maintaining components from renewable energy projects we support worldwide. Our aim is to maximise the lifespan of each component and reduce waste. In 2024, we repaired 6,000 items, doubling the amount of the repairs in the previous year. By improving our techniques, we were able to increase our capacity by 30%. We are continuing to enhance our methods and collaboration to strengthen our circularity.

Celebrating a decade of discounted electricity bills in Meikle Carewe Wind Farm

Meikle Carewe was the first wind farm in Scotland to deliver our innovative Local Electricity Discount Scheme. Residents living close to this Aberdeenshire wind farm have celebrated a decade of discounted electricity bills. In 2024, a total of 180 households, businesses and community buildings located within 3.5km of the Meikle Carewe turbines received a discount of £163 each. Totalling nearly £250,000 of bills savings through our LEDS over the ten years, annual payments to eligible properties will continue until the wind farm is decommissioned.

A blueprint for Indigenous partnerships in Canada

At the Bekevar wind project, which we developed and constructed in Canada, we prioritised building strong, collaborative relationships with the Cowessess First Nations people, who are joint owners of the project. Our aim was to take this partnership beyond legal requirements, fostering a meaningful and lasting connection with the community. We created an Indigenous employment plan to engage the Cowessess community, and to develop long-term partnerships and ownership of the project.

Moah Creek Wind Farm Indigenous Land Use Agreement, Australia

We celebrated the signing of two agreements between Central Queensland Power (a JV between RES and Energy Estate) and the Darumbal People the Aboriginal Corporation RNTBC – the Traditional Custodians of the land at the Moah Creek Wind Farm site. The agreements, which were codesigned, collaboratively through a 12-month engagement process, will provide a pathway for the wind farm to deliver enduring economic and social benefits to the Darumbal People for generations to come, as well as recognition and preservation of their cultural heritage and values.
