Looking forward to sharing some more community-owned energy love with other like-minded community groups.

It never ceased to amaze us how much interest oor wee community energy enterprise has captured other people's interest.

All we're doing is what the Great American Indians and our ancestors did and that's passing on the story.

We built our success on stories of the past - and no shortage of local volunteer passion - and we're just keeping that timeless tradition going.

One day we hope Scotland's local communities will be self- sufficient in community-owned energy, creating wealth and well-being and taking our carbon emissions as close to zero as we can.

Keep going folks!

Trying to lift the spirit this weekend reading David McCandless's "Beautiful News" and here's just one of his great graphs (published 2021)...

Many global trends are moving in the right direction despite the gloom & doom we hear in the mainstream press every day.

We hope in 2026, trends are continuing in the same vein for renewable energy... Especially community-owned energy.

We're looking forward to seeing our friends at the Linlithgow Community Development Trust AGM and celebration of our Linlith-Go-Solar project on the evening of 27th October 2025.

We hope our friends can make it and hear about the impacts of the project, what our brilliant Trust has been involved in over the past year and where we're going from here.

Linlith-Go-Solar has also helped to spawn a new collaboration between the three Lothian Climate Action Network Hubs called "CommonWatt" to develop more community-owned solar sites.

Interested in any of this or community energy?

Then please do reach out to us.

Cheers,
