Developing community- and locally-owned sustainable electricity generation is key to resilience. Scottish communities lead the way in community renewables initiatives, many of which have collaborated with us. Reducing carbon emissions in this way reflects the importance of communities on the global stage.
We work in partnership with community groups and others who share our aims and wish to build their understanding and capacity to create more democratic, sustainable, and low carbon solutions.
Community Energy Scotland brings a wealth of knowledge and experience and could benefit your project, managing your company’s low carbon targets.

Outer Hebrides Local Energy Hub (OHLEH) is an innovative project that will demonstrate how different renewable energy technologies can be integrated to support local energy economies and circular supply chains.
REsponsive FLEXibility – an energy system of the future.
