🧵 REVEALED: Community energy projects in Scotland are generating 100x more local wealth than privately-owned wind farms.

Our latest research looks at employment practice in the offshore wind sector, and takes a closer look at the ScotWind developers.

A red weather warning should make clear what is expected of employers so workers are not pressured to put themselves at risk.
