Community Benefits

OX2 is committed to delivering long-term benefits to the communities in which our projects are located. We look forward to collaborating with the community and the Mid Murray Council to design a benefit program that drives positive economic and social outcomes while providing lasting value.

Project Benefits:

Powering up to 130,000 SA homes with clean energy.
Storing up to 4 hrs of electricity in a 300 MW Battery for dispatch when needed most.
Creating up to 270 direct jobs during construction and approximately 5 operational roles.
Enabling greater integration of renewable energy into the grid to help reduce market volatility.
Supporting South Australia’s renewable energy and emission reduction targets.
Supporting the delivery of reliable energy in times of peak demand.
Community benefit program which will be developed in consultation with the community throughout the development phase of the project.

Scholarships

OX2 will explore opportunities to partner with regional TAFEs and Universities associated with our projects under development. The goal of this partnership is to establish scholarships that build the skills and knowledge needed for the renewables industry.

These scholarships could support a broad range of study options, including university degrees, vocational training, and short courses.

Student Technology Access Program

OX2 has established a Student Technology Access Program to repurpose company laptops no longer in use. These devices will be refurbished and provided to students at local schools, helping bridge the digital divide for those who may not otherwise have access to essential technology.

Careers and Business

Renewable energy Projects bring many direct opportunities for employment to the region during both the construction phase and ongoing operations once the project is commissioned.
