Passion for renewables and community benefits
Tony said of this passion, "North-East Scotland stands on the edge of a once-in-a-generation opportunity. With 24 GW of planned offshore wind, onshore wind, BESS, and transmission projects, our communities deserve an estimated £180 million every year in community benefit.
Groups like NES-CBC exist to ensure we don't miss out again, as we did during the oil and gas era. By helping Community Councils form the right charitable structures, identify real local needs, and present credible proposals to operators, NES-CBC turns potential into practical impact, from GP capacity to transport and childcare.
This is our moment to secure lasting investment in Aberdeenshire's biggest town and its surrounding villages, Boddam, Cruden Bay and Hatton."
