Renewable energy developers OnPath Energy and Muirhall Energy have backed calls for councils to retain the business rates generated by future wind farms in their areas, alongside existing community benefit payments.  https://www.heraldscotland.com/news/26643829.call-wind-farm-communities-retain-78m-year/?fbclid=IwY2xjawVAnUZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBwZG9mAXNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR7cEUJ4eicEeioT6kZEOJC_zreP6JrOh8e-QfVkGzFoh9EuI-_mc4IciQ3a4Q_aem_urP9bp8-Pvl9_x8154j2Hg
