Poland: Engaging our Communities

EDPR organized events and supported local initiatives across Poland during September.
These activities help strengthen our presence in the local communities where we operate wind farms, as well as maintain good relationships with local authorities, opinion leaders and local residents.

EDPR was featured in a local environmental television program. We collaborated with journalists from local station WTF, as well as local authorities, to prepare materials to educate the local population on how renewable power plants work, and what the benefits are compared to traditional energy sources.
