Scotland’s leading position towards producing more green energy for a net zero future means that development of the next generation of offshore wind energy is currently underway. This will result in some of the largest wind farms in the world off the Scottish coast and is an ideal opportunity for Scotland’s communities to get involved. Renantis (formerly Falck Renewables), Ørsted and BlueFloat Energy who together have secured the rights to build offshore wind farms have asked Energy4All to gauge the opinion of the people of Scotland on community ownership of offshore wind farms.

Community ownership is a way for people to come together to finance owning renewable energy schemes, boosting the local economy and using the profits for the benefit of the community.
