Community Benefits

Wind Power provides a range of benefits for community stakeholders:

• Wind power brings new skills and jobs to both rural and First Nations communities.
• Income generated from land leases and royalties benefits rural landowners by supplementing existing streams of income.
• New tax income for local governments funds community development programs.
• Wind Power income streams provide an alternative source of funds which will help to preserve rural towns.
• These long-term projects provide a steady stream of income flow for many years, with very minimal maintenance.
