SCA introduces Revenue Sharing for Residents Near Wind Farms
SCA has decided to take the lead ahead of the government report "The Value of Wind" (SOU 2023:18) by implementing its own compensation model, inspired by the report's proposals, for residents living near new wind farms developed by the company. The amount of compensation will be based on the distance to the turbine and the revenue generated by the turbine. "The proposal from the report is well-balanced, and that’s why we want to take the lead in this area. However, our view is that increased electricity production and resolution of the conflicts of interest that follow require state ownership of a well-designed regulatory framework. It needs to address how companies share revenue with nearby residents, how the state shares existing taxes with municipalities, and how processes to upgrade existing parks can be managed significantly faster," says Martin Ingels, Head of Wind Power at SCA.
