The onshore wind development process report (Appendix B) aims to clearly set out the current onshore wind development process in Scotland using a summary flowchart and supporting background information. The purpose of the document is to highlight where developers may find difficulties, such that any community organisation looking to enter into a shared ownership project is aware of development risks. Depending on the extent of community involvement, and the stage at which they join the project, this report may provide more detail than required.
This report was created by Locogen and commissioned by Local Energy Scotland.
How developers plan an onshore wind farm webinar
In the webinar, you’ll learn about the process that private developers go through from start to finish to plan and build a wind farm. This will build your understanding of the parts of the process that the community doesn’t usually see as well as the best points for communities to get involved. A better understanding of the whole process will enable your community to work more effectively with developers, particularly in discussions about shared ownership and community benefit funds.
This webinar was delivered by Locogen and took place on Tuesday 21 January 2025.
