Our energy. our future. our power.
Campaigning to make sure people in Scotland get a fair share of the country’s renewable energy wealth.
What's the problem?
Scotland is rich in renewable energy. But, it’s greedy corporations, not people, who are benefiting. Everywhere, communities are watching wind turbines go up, and the profits flow elsewhere.
Meanwhile, workers were promised that the shift to clean energy would bring new opportunities, but for many, those jobs have yet to materialise.
How to put it right.
We can build an energy system that keeps more of Scotland’s wealth in the country and delivers real benefits to local communities, while creating new opportunities for workers and businesses.
Through sustained action from workers and communities, the next Scottish Government has the power to create a more fair energy system for Scotland.
Imagine if we could…
Keep the wealth
Ireland, Denmark and Sweden all have public stakes in renewables and stand to profit more from ScotWind than Scots. We could benefit too, if we do the same.
Support communities
In Aberdeenshire, locally-owned wind is funding affordable homes for locals, and in Orkney it’s boosting council services. Let’s do this everywhere.
Create good jobs
The increase in wind energy could create a thriving manufacturing base in Scotland and deliver thousands of promised jobs for workers.
