Islay Energy Trust

Community-owned company developing & operating renewable energy projects for community benefit on Islay / Jura / Colonsay & supporting energy efficiency drives.

[Islay Energy Trust @IslayEnTrust]

#UCC operate a policy which gives the savings made by building using energy efficient methods back to those departments. @Glucksman used some of these funds to install LED lighting throughout, further reducing their energy use.

At @Glucksman Gallery in #Cork checking out their heating and cooling systems using borehole fed #gshp as part of the @atlantic_geo partners' visit. Spot @ALIenergy13 amongst the pipework!

I am guessing there may be several folk in island & coastal communities interested in taking a look at the reports including @jellsmoor @localenergysco @ScotRenew @HIEScotland @hienergyscot @helloheatpumps @IonaRenewables

So here's the link again: https://t.co/mejwB0A6At

We've added our feasibility report on the use of #groundsourceheatpump & #watersourceheatpump tech for heating multiple buildings in the remote coastal village of Port Charlotte on #Islay to the IET website.

The research is at https://t.co/mejwB0A6At and anyone interested in looking at ground or water source heat pumps is welcome to use the info. The research was conducted as part of the #GeoAtlantic project & we continue to work with @atlantic_geo partners to explore further opps.

Lots of interesting sessions on energy at the #VirtualIslandSummit including #energystorage, #electricvehicles, resilient island #enerysystems, #microgrids, & this one on island #geothermal - one for you @atlantic_geo!

@ALIenergy13 @juradevelopment @IslayEnTrust @FyneHEAT @DIG_Hydro @ScotIslandsFed A result of a mammoth amount of consultation with island communities this summer, this is the first Islands Plan & one of possibly 2 or 3 in existence (Croatia & possibly Japan being the others).

The Plan aims to put island communities at the very heart of policy.

@OurIslandHome @ALIenergy13 @juradevelopment @FyneHEAT @DIG_Hydro @ScotIslandsFed Well that's my reading with a cuppa this afternoon! :)

@ALIenergy13 @OurIslandHome @juradevelopment @FyneHEAT @DIG_Hydro Unfortu8nately it was short notice and clashed with other commitments. Did you attend?

[Islay Energy Trust @IslayEnTrust]

As part of the #GeoAtlantic project on the west cost of Scotland we're mainly concentrating on ground and water source #heatpumps. Elsewhere @atlantic_geo partners are mapping this kind of activity.

@OurIslandHome Yikes - here too....

[Islay Energy Trust @IslayEnTrust]

@OurIslandHome @ALIenergy13 @FyneHEAT @juradevelopment @DIG_Hydro It's been a catch up week here too! Was in Glasgow last week talking to @scotent about our #wshp feasibility study and getting ready to deliver our fancy info board to Islay Hotel today to explain their heat pump system! #argyllenergyhour

[Islay Energy Trust @IslayEnTrust]

@ALIenergy13 @OrkneyHousing @Co_wheels @juradevelopment - here's one for you!

Once again HUGE potential here........... Folk forget #Argyll is an island council but I would take a guess we have the largest number of individual ferry crossings of any local council area. Anyone have the stats???

#argyllenergyhour #sustainableislands #hydrogen #islandlife

[ALIenergy @ALIenergy13]

@EMEC_Ltd are investigating the use of hydrogen for transport on #Orkney. With many of the Orkney Islands relying on ferries as a life line they see an opportunity in making reductions in the transport carbon footprint. Any #argyllenergyhour folk thinking what we're thinking?

[Islay Energy Trust @IslayEnTrust]

Jealous of colleagues on #GeoAtlantic project getting to see the sea-fed #WaterSourceHeatPump at @OrkneyCouncil. Looking fwd to hearing more about Orkney's use of #HeatFromTheSea. Massive potential in #Argyll!

#wshp #heatpump #sustainableislands #argyllenergyhour @atlantic_geo

[ALIenergy @ALIenergy13]

We were impressed with @OrkneyCouncil's efficiency and forward thinking. We got to visit the Warehouse Buildings in Stromness which house the library, meeting rooms and Police office. All heated by a seawater heat pump situated under the pier. #argyllenergyhour @atlantic_geo

[Islay Energy Trust @IslayEnTrust]

@ALIenergy13 @OurIslandHome @DIG_Hydro @IonaRenewables @FyneHEAT To be honest - we need to see some big changes at industry level to make the impact we really need. We fully endorse individuals making changes as it all adds up, but it can't just be down to them. Big companies need to work more sustainably too. @ScotGovClimate
