Therefore NHTT is exploring the idea of an Energy Co-operative that is owned by members of the community.  The community invests, and community benefits from the revenue & profits generated.  Typically, individual members can invest between £250 and up to £20,000.

Energy 4 All are the organisation in Britain that has pioneered co-operative ownership of renewables, with examples all over the UK including 4 already up and running in Scotland; at Boyndie near Banff, near Fort Augustus in the Great Glen, on the Isle of Skye and at Kilbaur near Golspie.

The meeting will host Energy 4 ALL man Paul Phare. Paul will present the work of Energy 4 All in promoting and enabling community-based energy cooperative projects  and we will discuss how their approach might work in our area.

When & Where 

Monday 21st May 2012 at 7.45pm.   Letham Village Hall
