THE economy of the Highlands could be transformed by plans to create a “wealth fund” to pay for infrastructure and communities from a £100 billion investment in renewable energy schemes across the area.

It is part of a joint vision for how the Highlands can prepare for a forecasted £100bn in renewables investment.
