Summary
Oxfordshire County Council has launched a public consultation on a proposed interim policy to guide how local communities benefit from large-scale renewable energy projects, including solar farms, wind turbines, and battery storage sites developed for private profit. The council aims to create a consistent local approach for negotiating community benefits, noting that these projects could bring millions of pounds but currently some communities risk missing out due to the lack of a standardized framework.
