At Advantage Renewables, we understand that nothing is more important than being a good neighbor. We proudly champion communities that we call home through community involvement and financial support.
Respectful Neighbors
Involving neighbors is one of Advantage Renewables’ top priorities as a responsible energy developer. We are committed to ensuring active neighbor involvement and fostering a collaboration through:
- Community conversations and project transparency
- Substantial investments into the community and ongoing partnerships
- Commitment to sourcing labor and materials as locally as possible
- Community-centered siting tailored with each community’s long-range plan in mind to harmonize our project with the vision and growth trajectory of the surrounding area.
“Growing up in Starke County, I know firsthand how significant Advantage Renewables’ projects will be in our community. I am excited that my land will contribute to strengthening our local economy and powering our homes with reliable renewable energy.”
