Scotland:
"There were 42,900 community and locally owned renewable energy installations at the end of December 2024, with a capacity of 1,109 MW. These installations could produce an estimated 1,963GWh of renewable energy annually."

For comparison: a nuclear reactor produces about 1GW of electricity.

Australia: "But she said renewable projects were facing an “existential threat” because the companies behind them were failing to properly share benefits with regional and rural towns hosting them. Renewables companies needed to look back at previous resource booms such as coal, gas and gold that had helped build community infrastructure such as community halls and arts centres." https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2026/jul/30/australians-value-batteries-and-evs-but-renewables-industry-must-earn-trust-of-regions-summit-told
