As one of Australia’s largest Indigenous-led renewable energy initiatives, YEC is proud to be developing large-scale renewable energy projects to decarbonise Pilbara mining and industrial companies.
Traditional Owner Equity Ownership
YEC is a Traditional Owner led initiative.
As equity owners and primary tenure holders of the project land, the Yindjibarndi people will receive long term revenue from YEC projects.
This equity partnership provides a new benchmark for meaningful participation and ensures the following:
- Renewable energy is aligned with Yindjibarndi’s vision to create profitable and sustainable community owned commercial businesses that protect country, build a stronger community and respect culture.
- Yindjibarndi participation in assessments and studies to facilitate cultural knowledge building and intellectual property of country
- Jointly owned by Yindjibarndi so that revenues help to support initiatives such as housing, education and return to country which contribute to self determination for Yindjibarndi people
- Yindjibarndi participation in assessments and studies to facilitate cultural knowledge building and intellectual property of country
- Early investment in workforce development initiatives to prepare Indigenous communities to participate in YEC projects
- Supply chain access security for Yindjibarndi owned businesses
