This Bill includes a Community Electricity Right. This is a backstop power, that if exercised would give individuals resident in a community, and/or groups connected with a community, the
right to buy a stake in a renewable electricity development in their local area. DECC ran an informal consultation with members of the Shared Ownership Taskforce. We also asked for views
from the offshore wind industry, financiers, and renewables developers. We sought views on the scope and detail of the enabling powers, details of which are in the ‘Community right to buy’
discussion document.”. More information on the ‘Community Electricity Right’ is available in the ‘Policy Brief’ document. UPDATES TO THIS PAGE Published 13 June 2014 SIGN UP FOR EMAILS OR
