Energy experts have argued an ongoing deadlock means £9 billion of investment in the regional economy of the broader Border area is “stuck and unable to be delivered”
The largest independent Scottish renewables developer has said progress in the sector is being blocked by “years of intergovernmental discord”, claiming major investment is being put at severe risk.
Muirhall Energy said the south of Scotland, which is home to more than a fifth of the country’s onshore wind capacity, according to a South of Scotland Enterprise (SOSE) study, is missing out on billions of pounds worth of renewable energy investment. The company claims this is because of objections to wind farm applications from the Ministry of Defence (MoD). https://www.scotsman.com/hays-way/developers-accuse-mod-stalemate-of-blocking-ps9bn-in-wind-farm-developments-for-scottish-borders-4895674?fbclid=IwY2xjawG-TbZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHd2E-hdFQ3LKuZE8lTrPwaQfwUg4ChE6qBBqPxDWtGYpQfItjpEc2FjxPQ_aem_kGOvZVxmj6OpOHiIw0XqFQ
