Renewable Energy

The transition to a low carbon economy is one of Scotland's most significant opportunities and challenges.  Renewable energy technologies, including wind, solar, hydroelectric, anaerobic digestion, biomass and emerging energy solutions, are playing a vital role in supporting Scotland's ambitions to achieve net zero emissions whilst enhancing energy security and supporting sustainable economic growth.

The planning system actively supports renewable energy development where proposals are appropriately located and designed, balancing the need for clean energy generation with environmental, landscape and community considerations.  As renewable energy technologies continue to evolve, opportunities are emerging across both rural and urban areas to deliver projects that contribute to Scotland's energy future.

MFA has extensive experience in the renewable energy sector and provides planning advice, strategy and support across a wide range of projects.  Our expertise includes wind energy developments, anaerobic digestion plants, solar energy schemes, agricultural renewable projects and associated infrastructure.  

By combining planning expertise with a practical understanding of the opportunities and challenges facing the energy sector, MFA helps clients navigate complex planning requirements, maximise development potential and deliver projects that contribute positively to Scotland's transition towards a more sustainable future.
