ISLES MP Angus MacNeil has been notified that the UK Minister of State for Energy and Intellectual Property is scheduled to visit the Hebrides next year.
Baroness Neville-Rolfe is expected to visit the islands in May 2017 to discuss renewable energy opportunities.
This follows the UK government’s recent announcement that remote island wind projects would not be eligible for support in the next Contract for Difference Auction – a vital means of support to make projects sustainable.
