Increasing Uptake of Community Shared Ownership Opportunities

In April 2024 in our Fair Energy Deal for Scotland document we called for more of the vast financial gains being generated from our natural resources of wind, water and sun to be captured and retained in Scotland and shared equitably and fairly across all our communities.

This is one of a series of more detailed papers from the Scottish Community Coalition on Energy setting out the practical steps by which these goals can be achieved and calling on government, communities and industry to work together to deliver the full potential of community energy in Scotland. This paper sets out the key changes needed to deliver an improved system to enable more communities to take up shared ownership of commercially-owned renewable assets.
