Renewable Energy
At TC Young, we have considerable experience acting for community bodies seeking to develop community energy initiatives and continue to build on this expertise by working closely with rural communities developing their assets, businesses and services to create a long term sustainable lifestyle.
We worked closely with Isle of Gigha Heritage Trust in relation to their wind turbine development. This was Scotland’s first community owned, grid connected wind farm. We also worked with Tiree Renewable Energy on their recently completed community wind turbine project. This project was realised through funding from the Big Lottery and the Co-op bank. We worked closely with the project team through every step of the way including the governance arrangements with the charity and the turbine operator subsidiary. This involved issues ranging from the lease of the turbine site, funding arrangements, procurement and operational contracts.
Our team is at the forefront of community owned renewable energy development and we work closely with communities seeking to develop long term economic sustainability. We are approachable, pragmatic, knowledgeable and believe in working in partnership with communities.
Tiree Renewable Energy said “TC Young have worked closely with our project since the beginning and we have nothing but praise for their commitment, approachability, response time and practical advice. All staff we have encountered from partner level to support staff have been professional and a pleasure to deal with. There is a strong community / charity ethos in the practice backed up by a pragmatic can do attitude. I cannot think of a better firm to recommend to a Charity or Community group than TC Young and within the firm, its specialist Charities Partner, Mark Ewing”.
