GRASSROOTS group are being invited to have their say on the shape of a new benefit fund.
SSEN Transmission has recently set out plans for its first ever Community Benefit Fund, which will see the company working with communities across the north of Scotland to channel funds into vital local projects.
The Community Benefit Fund will initially see over £10 million of funding available for communities from net zero transmission infrastructure projects across the north of Scotland which have been approved by Ofgem, have an investment value of £100m or more and for which construction has already commenced or will commence between now and 2026.
This fund will form a core part of SSEN Transmission's social and economic support in the communities and regions they operate in.
Input is wanted from all stakeholders, and they are especially interested in views from the third sector, voluntary and community organisations as well as the views of community members across the north of Scotland.
