Project TransmiT

As an amendment to motion S4M-02623 in the name of Fergus Ewing (Project TransmiT), leave out from “continues” to end and insert "welcomes Project TransmiT and recognises that the changes proposed to the charging regime are fairer than the current position; notes, however, that these charges will still disadvantage the Western Isles, Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands where there is greater potential for community-owned renewables; urges Ofgem to come forward with a pricing regime that does not penalise these communities, and calls on the Scottish Government to use the current review of Renewables Obligation Certificates to take account of any remaining disparity in grid access costs and to encourage community renewables."
