Yes, your community can power itself!
How can a community move from a promising renewable-energy idea to a practical, evidence-led project?
Date and time: to
Location: Online
Organisation: SCCAN Scottish Communities Climate Action Network
Using HydroGlen at Glensaugh as a worked example, this session will explore how local electricity, heat and transport needs can be considered as one integrated energy system—and why understanding demand, available resources and site constraints should come before selecting technology.
Alex Gauntt will also introduce RuraVolt, Water to Water’s free online planning tool. Attendees will learn how a community organisation can identify a suitable rural anchor site, gather the information needed for an initial assessment and develop a clearer view of the technologies, costs, benefits and uncertainties involved.
The session will conclude with a practical route for SCCAN members to nominate a real site and register for a free RuraVolt assessment.

Alex founded Water to Water in 2017 to help farms, estates and rural communities understand and develop their local renewable-energy potential. The company focuses on practical, integrated energy systems combining local generation, storage and, where appropriate, green hydrogen to improve resilience, reduce emissions and retain more energy value locally.
