Recommendation 22

The UK Government should learn from the Scottish Government’s evaluation of its pilot, so that lessons can be learned for possible implementation in other parts of the UK. In its response to this report, the UK Government should set out how, through the Local Power Plan, it will remove barriers to repowering community energy projects at the end of their lifetime, including barriers related to retained grid access and planning consents, which are devolved in Scotland.
