Developing local partnerships for onshore wind in England

In the British Energy Security Strategy, the government committed to develop local partnerships for onshore wind in England, enabling supportive communities who wish to host new onshore wind infrastructure to directly benefit from doing so.

This consultation is seeking views on:

• improving the way developers and communities engage when an onshore wind site is proposed in a local area
• whether improvements can be made to the system of community benefits, so that communities directly benefit from cheap, clean, secure power

We welcome responses from anyone with an interest in the policy area, but the consultation will be of particular interest to:

• those considering the development of new onshore wind in England
• English planning authorities and representative planning bodies
• electricity traders and suppliers
• consumer, community and environmental groups with an interest in the renewable electricity sector
