Minister for Energy comments
Energy Minister Fergus Ewing said:
“Today’s announcement falls short in several vital respects.
“Firstly Scotland’s islands are rich in renewable energy resources and I am deeply concerned about the island proposals. We have always said that we need a levels of support that works for all of the islands – yet from today’s announcement it is clear that the UK Government has not listened to the demands of developers or the Scottish Government on this matter. While the provision of dedicated support represents progress, the UK Government continues to ignore their own research which points to the need for different levels of support across the three main island groups.
