Upwind Konikablo Ltd.

Strengthening Communities

Upwind is committed to participate the population and communities living around the wind farm.

Any concerns or misconceptions shall be elicited and addressed directly. A good information policy is our key to a transparent project development. We assure that the locals get to know the developers, have access to relevant and up-to-date information and are informed about the project’s progress and outcomes. Besides, it is important that the communities see the benefits the project can bring for their own lives as well as its national importance.

Transparent and easily accessible information

Regular Community Consultation Events serve to update the communities on the project and allow questions and feedback to be received.

In addition to the community events, regular updates will be given through appropriate means. Newsletters are prepared, which inform about the past and upcoming development activities. At a later stage, additional means of communication, such as Social Media, SMS and local radio broadcasts will be used.

Community Liaison Officer Team

A team of Community Liaison Officers (CLOs) were employed. The CLOs are acting as a local interface between the communities and the developers and constructors of the project and are leading the Community Engagement Program through consultations with local stakeholders.
