The UK Government’s decision to include Berwick Bank in the Contracts for Difference scheme is a disaster for Scotland’s seabirds.
Killing tens of thousands of these incredible birds isn’t just reckless, it could push many species towards extinction.

We know it’s possible for renewable energy projects to be developed alongside the protection of marine wildlife.
But the scale of Berwick Bank puts our already under-pressure seabird populations at risk and public money should not be used to support it.

Berwick Bank could kill more birds than any other windfarm on Earth, devastating colonies of Gannets, Puffins and Kittiwakes off Scotland’s coast. 🚨
We support renewables, but not at catastrophic cost to seabirds already in crisis.
