Hydro and biomass Sites

The co-operative has operated a wood chip fuelled district heating system on the Springbok Estate near Alfold, Surrey since June 2015.  Prior to installation of the biomass system the heating was supplied by approximately 20 oil boilers, some of which were quite old and inefficient.

Highland Community Energy Society owns a stake in six hydro projects at numerous sites in the Highlands of Scotland.  The latest community share offer raised £1.35 million to claim a stane in four of these sites.

Officially opened in 2018, the hydro scheme is located in Arrochar, on Luss Estates’ land, in  Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park.   The build cost was £660K and funds were raised through a community share offer.
