WindAction | 'Local' wind farms owned by firms based abroad

Some of Scotland’s biggest ‘local’ wind farms are owned as far afield as the Cayman Islands and Canada, The Ferret can reveal, prompting claims the Scottish Government is “misleading” the public over its community energy targets. The Scottish Government has a target to bring much more “community or locally owned” renewable energy online by 2030. But its definition of local energy includes projects owned by farms, estates, and businesses, and the majority of projects installed so far are privately owned which means there is no guarantee they will not be sold on.
