Renewable Energy/Microgeneration

Energy and Sustainability aims to make the Highland Council a more sustainable and energy efficient organisation thereby reducing its energy costs, carbon emissions and impact on the environment. One way in which the council can help meet these aims is through increased use of renewable energy and low and zero carbon technologies.

This section gives further information on the types of projects the Council is undertaking, as well as general information on the types of technologies available should you be considering installing one on your own property. A number of useful links to sources of further information has also been provided complete with information detailing suitable sources of external funding.
