Local Energy Scotland

Should England and spatial development strategy geographies be setting some sort of onshore wind target at all? But the second difference is, I think, conceptual, and it's one that I think really should interest us.

Scotland has consistently treated onshore wind as a community wealth question, an onshore wind sector deal with 63 commitments, community benefit guidance of, I think it's £5,000 per megawatt a year, a shared ownership ambition running back to 2017, Local Energy Scotland and now a Community Wealth Building Act.

England's nearest equivalent instinct runs through GB Energy's Local Power Plan, which is a public ownership idea rather than a community one.

I have to say the model is more present in Scottish thinking than in Scottish delivery, with a CLES blown away report in June finding community benefits much lower than the policy ambition.
