To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its review of the Good Practice Principles for Community Benefits from Offshore Renewable Energy Developments.
The Scottish Government is launching a public consultation on Community Benefits from Net Zero Energy Developments on 19 December 2024, which will be open until 11 April 2025. This consultation is part of our review of the ‘Good Practice Principles’ for community benefits from onshore and offshore renewable energy developments. Through the consultation and stakeholder engagement, we want to gather a wide range of views from across communities, industry and public and third sector stakeholders to ensure that our guidance supports sustainable and meaningful outcomes.
