‘New game, old rules’: How Scottish communities should benefit from net zero project rush

Professor Matthew Hannon, director of the Strathclyde Institute for Sustainable Communities (SISC), said: “At the moment, we are playing a new game with old rules. Typically, back in the day, power stations would be near to where our populations lived – Battersea Power Station, for example. But now we have most of the generation capacity in the far north and the communities living there are, per unit of power, paying proportionally more than those who don’t live near that power.

“These communities are hosting these facilities and they are seeing their landscape change at pace, but they are not getting cheaper bills.”  https://www.scotsman.com/hays-way/new-game-old-rules-how-scottish-communities-should-benefit-from-net-zero-project-rush-5161543?fbclid=IwY2xjawKuMa9leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHgC8E8wLW2v75GubE7d41doIIk7nUsgEcqCYhqt1r33_aKeNKhU63qJL0Bf2_aem_uT7n6NkYUpxYB7uSskrRPg
