Best Practice Charter 2025 Summary
The most comprehensive picture of the local benefits and contributions clean energy projects are delivering across Australia
The Best Practice Charter for Renewable Energy Projects is a voluntary set of commitments for developers. It outlines the standards that signatories will uphold in the development of current and new clean energy projects.
The Best Practice Charter signatory reports for 2025 contain more than 400 examples of how renewable energy developments are delivering for local communities, Traditional Owners, landholders and the environment.
Whether it’s co-designing benefit-sharing funds with local councils, supporting First Nations equity partnerships, integrating agriculture and solar, or ensuring worker accommodation doesn’t strain local housing, the reports show what’s possible when regional communities and clean energy developers partner together to build lasting change.
A summary of the leading examples from the reports shows that industry is continuing to raise the bar for development on-the-ground in regional Australia.
