Economic Impact Assessment of SSE Projects in the Great Glen
Economic Impact Assessment of SSE Projects in the Great Glen A report to SSE Renewables February 2020 Contents 1. Executive Summary 1 2. Introduction 4 3. Economic Impact of Great Glen Wind Farms 7 4. Economic Impact of Glendoe Hydro Scheme 18 5. Summary 24 6. Appendix A – Methodology 26 7. Appendix B – Consultations 30 8. Appendix C – Project Impacts 31 Economic Impact Assessment of SSE Projects in the Great Glen 1. Executive Summary The development, construction and operation of three wind farms in the Great Glen and the Glendoe Hydro Scheme has generated and will continue to generate substantial local, regional and national impacts. Between 2009 and 2018 SSE Renewables completed four projects within the Great Glen area of the Highland region. These projects are: • Glendoe Hydro Scheme, which has a capacity of 100MW, which became fully operational in 2012; • Bhlaraidh Wind Farm, which has a capacity of 108MW, which became fully operational in 2017; • Dunmaglass Wind Farm, which has a capacity of 94MW, which became fully operational in 2017; and • Stronelairg Wind Farm, which has a capacity of 228MW, which became fully operational in 2018. These projects were developed and built at a cost of £1.1 billion in 2018 prices (DEVEX/CAPEX). Operational expenditure (OPEX) is expected to amount to £1.1 billion over their operational lifetimes/25 years. The expected total expenditure (TOTEX) is therefore £2.2 billion. During the development and construction phases, it was estimated that the UK secured contracts worth £686.1 million. The area is expected to secure £1.0 billion in OPEX contracts over the operational lifetimes of the projects (£39.7 million annually).

Rural Affairs and Environment Committee
RURAL AFFAIRS AND ENVIRONMENT COMMITTEE RURAL HOUSING INQUIRY SUBMISSION FROM HIGHLAND COUNCIL Rural housing inquiry – Highland Statistics March 2008 Information has been compiled as requested where data is available. It is not possible to extract the requested statistical information for rural areas only. Based on the Scottish Government definition that defines “rural” as involving all settlements of less than 3,000, wards have been colour coded to highlight those which are a) rural; b) made up of rural settlements and c) small towns. Other data is only available at present by the ex-management (and ex-District Council) areas which comprise both urban and rural areas. It should be recognised that homelessness may occur in rural areas but manifest itself as a homeless application in urban areas such as Inverness, Dingwall etc. It is not possible to estimate hidden homelessness.

24 June 2021 Report Title: Boundaries Scotland – Review of Electoral
Agenda 12 Item Report HC/18/21 No THE HIGHLAND COUNCIL Committee: Highland Council Date: 24 June 2021 Boundaries Scotland – Review of Electoral Arrangements for Report Title: the Highland Council Area – Final Proposals Report By: Executive Chief Officer Performance and Governance 1. Purpose/Executive Summary 1.1 The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of the final proposals submitted by Boundaries Scotland to Scottish Ministers regarding their review of Electoral Arrangements for the Highland Council Area. The report also highlights the next steps in this process. 2. Recommendations 2.1 Members are asked to i. Note the final report from Boundaries Scotland Review of Electoral Arrangements, The Highland Council Area Final Proposals; ii. Accept where the status quo has been maintained or where minor boundary adjustments have no impact – actually or consequentially - on ward representation: Wards: 1-4; 6-9; 11; 18; 20 & 211; iii. Oppose any more fundamental changes, particularly where this has led to a reduction of ward membership, and argue that these should instead await the Local Governance Review and outcomes of the Scottish Government’s work on addressing West Coast depopulation; iv. Agree to write to the Deputy First Minister, Highlands and Islands MSPs and the Chair of the Local Government and Communities Committee to express the concerns raised by the Review’s proposals, as set out in Paragraph 7 and the conclusions reached by the Council set out at ii) and iii) above. 3. Implications 1 Current ward numbering is being used, not the numbering used by Boundaries Scotland in their report for the new ward arrangements.
