Energy engagers

ENERGY. SHARED.

At Stanwell, we deeply value the support of the communities we operate in and understand that our ability to operate relies on the support of the people who live near our energy assets. We're not just here to generate energy — we're committed to enhancing the social, economic, and environmental outcomes in the areas in which we operate.

Applications for our Community Partnership Funds open in October. We look forward to your submissions.

Sharing Benefits

Stanwell has set up grants for regional communities to invest in the people and projects that shape our communities. From supporting local schools and non-profits to funding innovative sustainability initiatives, we're committed to positively impacting the lives of those around us.

We work closely with community leaders to understand the needs of our host communities and provide funding for the things that are most important to them and prioritise projects that make a genuine quality of life contribution to our communities in the Southern and Central Queensland.

In the last financial year (2023-4) we invested $601,000 in 103 community based projects.
