Recommendation
While it is important to safeguard the commercial viability of renewable schemes, the Government must ensure that the minimum compensation provided through its mandatory community benefit scheme reflects fair compensation for communities hosting these schemes. The UK Government’s proposed £5,000 per MW community benefit contribution is insufficient, and does not meet this test. (Conclusion, Paragraph 87)
