Iomairt aig an Oir Projects 

Through Iomairt aig an Oir, Community Groups can be assisted in a

number of ways. Groups have access to the Local Development Officer,

who can undertake tasks to assist the group, e.g. fund raising. Groups can

access a small consultancy fund to assist with project planning and

feasibility, and they can access development funding, a limited fund

available to help initiate project development.

Renewable Energy

Community Wind Turbine

The aim of this project was to build a community owned wind turbine, which would generate electricity for sale to the grid. The profits from this project would be reinvested in to the community. The project is currently up and running. The total project cost was within the anticipated region of £750 000. There is considerable scope for the development within the renewables sector, using a range of technologies and energy sources.
