Closes 16 Jul 2025

Community benefits: Thresholds

6. Do you agree with the proposed mandatory community benefits threshold of 5MW for power generating and storage assets?
7. Should the threshold vary by technology in order to accommodate nascent technology (such as floating offshore wind)?
8. How should shared ownership arrangements interact with any mandated community benefit fund contributions?
9. Are there any project types that should be exempt from a potential mandatory community benefits scheme?
