    Small-scale wind was at one the eligible for FITs, which would mean getting generation payments as well as export payments. Is this what the OP is thinking of?

    I appreciate that politics in a small community mean that you need to be careful not to go too deep into specifics.  Can you confirm if you are in Scotland?

    If so, I would start with giving your local HIE office a ring, to see if they are on the case.   Also speaking to one of the folk at Community Energy Scotland to see if they can shed any light on the current local set-up.  
  • Difficult to grasp the scale of “six turbines”, it could be 60kW or 15MW!

    I think (as the OP is well aware) this issue unfortunately suffers from a lack of accurate information at this point.
  • ok thanks peeps, ill see if the local enterprise groups can advise, am still waiting for SSE to respond to email. thanks anyways!
