Ms Wooler said Squadron Energy had a key role in the project’s development.
“Squadron’s support reduced the financial burden of the installation and ensured we could move forward with a project that delivers long-term environmental and operational benefits,” she said.
She added that the ongoing partnership between the two companies was “incredibly important”.
“As both a corporate sponsor and a contributor to this solar project, Squadron directly supports our ability to provide a world-class rescue service across more than 350,000 square kilometres.”
“Community-minded partners like Squadron help cover critical operating costs, reduce our reliance on ongoing fundraising and strengthen our capacity to respond to emergencies and aeromedical missions where and when we're needed.”
Clarke Creek Wind Farm Community Relations Advisor Patrice Willoughby said supporting CapRescue's move to install solar panels was another positive step in the fruitful partnership between the two organisations.
"CapRescue plays a vital role and lifeline for rural and remote communities, and we are proud to support their mission of saving lives in the regions through air rescue," she said.
"It's great to see CapRescue making the move to renewables with the installation of solar panels on their base, and Squadron Energy is thrilled to be a part of that transition."
Squadron Energy has supported CapRescue since early 2024, enabling the company to continue to effectively carry out critical operations throughout Central Queensland.
CapRescue completed nearly 600 calls for help in 2024.
