For your community
Neoen is committed to investing annually through the Moorabool Benefit-Sharing Program, aimed at supporting two long-term initiatives that are currently in the planning stage. In 2022, for our Victorian Big Battery Project, we launched two educational initiatives designed to benefit students across different educational stages: one for primary school students and another for those at the tertiary level.
As we progress towards the commercial operational date of the Moorabool project, our team is dedicated to engaging closely with both the local community and the Traditional Owners Corporation. This engagement is crucial for understanding the community’s needs and aspirations, which will play a pivotal role in shaping our long-term initiatives.
Kardinia International College Junior School are very excited to be a long-term partner with the VBB Community. With our Year 5 students spending the year at our Grove Campus learning about sustainability and having the VBB geographically close to our campus the ideological links were obvious. We are grateful to Neoen and Tesla for the time invested in educating our students with site visits, formal presentations, and the development of Neoen’s Learning Hub. It is these connections that help us develop the next generation of sustainably minded citizens.
