Neoen acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which the Bondo Wind Farm will harvest and store the energy of the wind. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present.

ARTWORK

Neoen, under its Sustainability Framework, has a commitment to create an artwork on all its projects with a capacity of over 50 MW. The artwork aims to celebrate renewable energy and local culture.

If it goes ahead, The Bondo Wind Farm will also deliver an artwork commitment. Here is an example of an artwork design painted on a wind turbine at another Neoen project in Far North Queensland.
