SSEN Transmission's Regional Community Benefit Fund
The motion
That the Parliament celebrates the news that funding has been awarded to 10 organisations across the north of Scotland through SSEN Transmission's Regional Community Benefit Fund; understands that the first tranche of awards comes from an initial pot of £10 million, which is associated with electricity transmission projects that are already in delivery; notes that the Regional Community Benefit Fund aims to support projects that bring positive benefits and a long-lasting legacy to communities throughout the north of Scotland; appreciates that projects that have been awarded funding, include Inverness College UHI, Kyle and Lochalsh Community Trust, and THAW Orkney, and welcomes that SSEN Transmission anticipates that over £100 million in community benefit funding will be delivered in communities across the north of Scotland to help meet energy security and clean power ambitions.
