Conclusion
Repowering offers a timely opportunity for communities to expand community-owned energy while rebalancing some of the unfair outcomes of the transition. As both the UK and Scottish Governments support the expansion of community energy projects, closer coordination is needed to reduce barriers to decommissioning and repowering. We welcome the Scottish Government’s pilot enabling community groups the opportunity to lease public land to repower wind farms and the Minister’s commitment to consider this idea for use across the UK.
