Scottish councils may lose out on more than £44m of income over the next 20 years if changes are made to wind farm subsidies, according to a trade body.

The UK government recently announced changes to the way onshore wind energy schemes are supported.

Critics fear this could lead to some proposed schemes getting the axe.

Industry body Scottish Renewables said five Scottish councils could lose out on income if developments they have invested in do not go ahead.
