Scotwind is the first auction of Scotland’s offshore territory for the purpose of generating renewable wind energy in a decade and is the largest such auction of its kind so far in Scotland.
But the way it has been done has effectively privatised Scotland’s next generation of energy assets before they’ve even been built, has done so for an unbelievably small fraction of the potential profits to be extracted from the resources and has not done nearly enough to secure the local ownership and supply chain benefits that should come to Scotland as a result of this project.
Scotland Matters is registered with the UK Electoral Commission as a non-party campaigner. Our objective and activities are to:
Promote the benefits of being in the UK.
Highlight the issues of separation.
And communicate this to Scotland’s voters.
