The Scottish Government continues to hammer small #highland businesses that produce #hydropower with the highest levels of rates in the country. #SaveSmallHydro. BBC Highland reports, 1 minute 50 seconds in: listen here

The Scottish Budget put through parliament by @KateForbesMSP does nothing to resolve the injustice of #hydrorates relief being seen by #ScotGov as #StateAid. It’s her constituents who suffer - to the tune of £375,000 this year in the case of #Ardtornish
#RipOff #SaveSmallHydro
Today @HeraldScotland splashes the #hydro rates crisis. #Scotland's highest-taxed businesses followed #ScotGov advice, investing millions to help #decarbonise #power. Then got hammered by ruinous rates. In the year of #COP26 ministers have done nothing. #GoFigure. #SaveSmallHydro
Another month’s hydro rates paid - £55,089.
It’s uncomfortable being pro rata the highest ratepayer in #Scotland. That’s another job taken from the ultra-remote community of #Morvern.

Scotland's government chooses to penalise #renewable energy generators with financially crippling rates - surprising, you might think, soon before the world's most vital climate summit - ever - in Glasgow. #SaveSmallHydro Thanks to @heraldscotland for more

Rates paid on #Ardtornish hydro schemes: £55,085 for Dec (same as Nov, Oct…) = another job lost to an ultra-remote area. #Scotland wants #climate leadership? As it prepares for #COP26, it persecutes small #renewables operators. We’re being screwed. #SaveSmallHydro
Just signed off @Ardtornish January payment run. Third biggest item? ~£40k for a month’s hydro rates – to be repeated all year. 12 times. Other #renewables pay far far less. This costs jobs, investment in remote communities. Our plan to recruit a ranger? Cancelled #SaveSmallHydro
#Scotland's the proud UK low-carbon energy leader. But it’s levying #hydro business rates that threaten to kill #SmallHydro – at the very time we prepare to host the world’s most important climate talks #COP26. Surely it’s not just me that thinks this perverse? #SaveSmallHydro
Scots #hydro power operators 'at risk' from unsustainable rates bills, very much including us at #Ardtornish, where this year our hydro rates bills total over £0.5m - an incredibly unjust and unreasonable sum #SaveSmallHydro #COP26 https://t.co/H3sOujWPOe
Dismayed. Ardtornish pays over £350k p.a. business rates on our #smallhydro plants. We've waited 2 years & the #Tretton Review fails to find a permanent solution. SG ministers need live up to their #greenenergy promises. #emptyrhetoric #SaveSmallHydro https://t.co/4mQuJa1tmY
