SR Response: Community Benefits from Renewable Energy Developments Consultation

On December 19, 2024, the Scottish Government launched a consultation to explore ways to improve how local communities receive benefits from renewable energy developments.

The consultation, which ran until April 11, sought views on updating the Scottish Government's Good Practice Principles for Community Benefit from Onshore Renewable Energy Developments and on developing guidance for Offshore Renewable Energy Developments.

Scottish Renewables collaborated with the Scottish Offshore Wind Energy Council (SOWEC) Community Benefits Subgroup to produce a response to this consultation. Our response can be downloaded below.
