Executive Summary
Energy UK supports retaining the 50MW threshold for onshore electricity generation projects. This will help enable more consistency in decision making for Scottish projects, and avoid constraints on local planning authorities.
If you would like to discuss this response in further detail with Energy UK and its members, we would welcome further engagement.
