Communities urged to bid for £8m renewable energy fund
- The Scottish Government has reopened its £8 million Community Energy Generation Growth Fund to support local renewable energy projects across Scotland.
- The fund expansion includes £4 million from Great British Energy and builds on the Community and Renewable Energy Scheme’s prior support for over 990 projects and £67 million in funding.
- The fund provides financial support for local groups to develop renewable energy projects like wind, solar, and hydro installations to supply their energy needs and generate revenue by selling any surplus power.
- Deputy First Minister Kate Forbes highlighted that the funding is crucial for achieving a fair transition, while Minister Michael Shanks emphasized its role in empowering local communities to lead renewable energy projects and benefit financially from them.
- The fund’s reopening aims to empower more communities in Scotland’s transition to net zero by supporting stand-alone generation projects and fostering local economic benefits.
