Biodiversity and Ecological Conservation
Our Approach
At Iberdrola Australia we believe that environmental conservation is about much more than climate change. As we decarbonise the electricity system we introduce new wind and solar generation into regional Australia. This can have impacts on the precious ecosystems that define our unique country.
At our sites, we aim to have a positive impact on the natural environment. We share Iberdrola's global commitment to being "nature positive" by 2030 and we aim to conserve, if not enhance, the natural ecosystems at our operating sites.
We have a broad commitment to partnering, collaboration and knowledge sharing, particularly in these critical initiatives.
