Our Senior Director of External Affairs, Becky Campbell recently spoke on a panel at the United Nations Climate Week in New York, organized by the WWF. During the discussion, 'Moving Faster Without Breaking Things: Accelerating Renewables Deployment with Meaningful Benefits for Communities and Ecosystems,' she underscored LRE’s transparent approach to community engagement, commitment to integrating stakeholder feedback into project planning, and how our Environmental and Social Management System helps achieve our ESG goals while delivering meaningful community benefits. We thank the WWF for inviting us to participate in this important discussion, alongside fellow panelists Yinka N. Bode-George, Founder and CEO of Sustain Our Future, and Sarah K. Friedman, Community Benefits Advisor for the Undersecretary of Infrastructure at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). #ClimateWeek #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #LeewardRenewableEnergy

Leeward Renewable Energy’s (LRE) GSG Wind project in Lee and Lasalle Counties, Illinois was proud to welcome our neighbors over for a visit. As part of our commitment to community involvement, we partnered with local organization Reimagine Mendota to tour one of GSG Wind’s turbines. Local residents got to see the project up close and learn about these wind turbines in the heartland of Illinois. GSG Wind began operating in 2007 with 40 wind turbines. It was repowered in 2023 with all the original turbines replaced by 26 newer, more efficient ones. This site reflects LRE’s commitment to land stewardship, as our landowners continue to farm corn and soybeans on the GSG Wind site. #GSGWind #CommunityInvolvement #ReimagineMendota
