Objective
To develop a plan/strategy for the exploitation of renewable energy resources in the Borders Region of Scotland by:
*determining in detail the potentially recoverable resource;
*recommending appropriate technologies for the development of this resource, and make information about them generally available to encourage public acceptance;
*setting out a rational approach aimed maximising the effective and practical exploitation over time of suitable sites;
*establishing the planning and development control approach to renewables;
*identifying and priming at least one demonstration project for each appropriate technology.
