Isle of Canna renewables project up for Scottish Green Energy Award
We are pleased that our Isle of Canna renewables work has been nominated for a Scottish Green Energy Award. This is one of only three Highland projects shortlisted this year.
The project established a new community-owned renewable electricity system on the Isles of Canna and Sanday. Residents moved from expensive and difficult to maintain diesel generators to supply power to now using solar PVs and wind turbines.
LUC conducted the Landscape and Visual Impact Assessment (LVIA) for the planning application.
The system which is owned and run by the new enterprise Canna Renewable Energy and Electrification Ltd (CREEL) has resulted in lower power costs and enables the island to run on up to 100% renewable energy.
We look forward to the awards ceremony in Edinburgh on 6 December.
