Started in Scotland way back in 2012 – with support from The University of Edinburgh among others – Energy Archipelago begun as an ambitious attempt to plug the data gap in community energy.

It is with sadness that we will be retiring the platform very soon.
Scene Connect has worked closely with a community-led charity, Iona Renewables, on the island of Iona (Scotland) to secure £1.65M funding for a community-owned, low carbon and affordable heating system connecting island homes, school and businesses.

The development of this innovative heat network will be the first step towards the island’s energy transition from imported, fossil fuel energy sources, to local renewable energy generation, storage and use.
