The Highland Energy Rebate:
Powering a fairer Energy Future.
The Highland Energy Rebate campaign is advocating for a rebate scheme for residents in the Highlands & Islands who contribute significantly to the UK's renewable energy production. It targets the imbalance in energy costs, particularly for those in off-grid areas who cannot access cheaper energy alternatives.
Why this campaign matters
The Highland & Islands region is pivotal in generating renewable energy for the UK but faces higher energy costs due to transmission and distribution charges. This campaign addresses the unfair economic burden on these communities, aligning with broader national goals of fair energy distribution and sustainability.
The initiative would alleviate the financial strain of high energy costs, reduce fuel poverty, and promote economic equity in the Highlands & Islands.
The Proposal
To introduce a rebate scheme similar to the Chancellor's proposal to compensate those living near energy infrastructure, such as new pylons, as part of electricity grid expansion. This scheme would offer financial rebates to Highland and Islands residents, offsetting the higher per-unit costs of electricity they currently face.
