How will the SNP support communities in Scotland to own and manage renewables projects?
The SNP will continue to support the further growth of community and locally owned renewable energy projects, and set new targets of 1 GW of community and locally-owned energy by 2020, and 2 GW by 2030. We will ensure that by 2020, at least half of newly consented renewable energy projects will have an element of shared ownership. We will also argue for Scottish control of our share of feed-in tariffs to help promote community ownership schemes.
