March 2016 — September 2020
The island of Iona has an ambitious aim of becoming entirely energy self-sufficient through use of renewable energies and storage. We have worked with Iona Renewables, a representative local group, in developing a roadmap that would allow their aims to be achieved. The roadmap includes various technologies and project types covering local generation, storage, supply and use of electricity and heat.
Several high impact first phase projects are already underway, involving innovate partnerships and ownership models, the largest of which is a district heating network that covers the main village on Iona.
