Executive summary Wind is a clean, free and readily available source of energy. The UK is the windiest country in Europe and wind energy is therefore a vital source of sustainable energy in the UK. Onshore wind is now the UK’s largest source of renewable energy generation. There is currently around 12,500 MW of installed capacity in the UK which equates to around a third of total installed renewable energy capacity.1 An increasing number of renewable energy projects in the UK are being financed and run as community enterprises. This enables the profits generated from them to benefit the local community and gives people the opportunity to take ownership of these projects in their community. This trend has been particularly prevalent in Scotland – there are around 530 community owned projects in Scotland with a combined capacity of 81 MW.2 Coigach Community CIC COIGACH Coigach Community CIC is a community interest company which owns and operates a community wind turbine in Coigach, a remote peninsula in the Northwest Highlands of Scotland. Coigach Community CIC is wholly owned Inverness by local charity, Coigach Community Development Company.

The community faces a number of challenges common to remote communities including a lack of affordable housing, decreasing levels of health provision, lack of access to basic amenities, poor transport links and a fragile economy which is over-reliant on the traditional industries of crofting and fisheries. The Coigach wind turbine was developed to create a regular income to support the community through a variety of projects which tackle these challenges. The 500 kW turbine was constructed in early 2017 and started generating electricity in March 2017. It is performing in line with expectations 1 Department for Business, Energy and is expected to generate around 2,020 MWh each year. and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), Renewable electricity capacity and generation, December 2017.

This will enable Coigach Community CIC to contribute around energy in Scotland at June 2017. £4.4 million to community projects over 20 years. 5 the wind of change for Coigach The 2018 Coigach Community CIC Bond Offer Issuer: Coigach Community CIC Amount: £1,750,000 Term: 12 years, final repayment on 31 March 2030 Minimum investment: £250 Interest: 5% gross per year, increasing in line with the annual retail price index each year from April 2019. Payable on 31 March each year (net of UK basic rate tax unless held in a Triodos Innovative Finance ISA when interest will be paid gross). Investors should note that payment of interest and repayment of capital are not guaranteed and are dependent on the continued success of Coigach Community CIC’s business model. Repayment: The Bonds are expected to be repaid in ten annual instalments from 2021 to 2030. In the event of death of a Bondholder or in other exceptional circumstances, Bonds may be repaid early at the Company’s discretion subject to sufficient cash being available. Social Impact: An estimated £4.4 million will be donated to Coigach Community Development Company – a local charity – over 20 years to support a range of community projects in Coigach. ISA and SIPP: The Bonds are eligible to be held in a Triodos Bank Innovative Finance ISA and can be held in a self-invested personal pension (SIPP). Security: Secured by way of a standard security over the tenant’s interest in the lease of the turbine site and a debenture (including a floating charge) over all of the assets of the Company. An independent Security Trustee will be appointed to represent the Bondholders’ security interest. Covenants: A negative pledge regarding other borrowings until the Bonds are repaid in full. This prevents the Company from taking on additional debt. Reporting: Bondholders will receive Coigach Community CIC’s annual report which will contain progress updates on the turbine and the community projects being supported, and will be invited to the Company’s annual AGM. Transferable: Bonds are transferable but are not listed on any investment exchange which means that Bondholders will have to find a willing buyer and agree a purchase price with them. Investors should be prepared to hold the Bonds for their full 12-year term. Aggregate minimum The aggregate minimum raise for the Offer is £1,450,000. If less than £1,450,000 is raised, raise: then investors’ monies will be returned with no accrued interest. Timetable: The Offer opens on 1 March 2018 and closes at noon on 30 April 2018, unless the £1,750,000 target has been reached earlier or the Offer is extended by the Directors at their sole discretion.

The IFISA was introduced on 6 April 2016 and crowdfunded debt securities – such as these Bonds – are eligible for inclusion.

  • Consultation of Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16
    The Highland Licensing Board Agenda 4 Item Meeting – 27 August 2013 Report HLB/107/13 No Consultation on Proposals for Overprovision Statement 2013-16 Report by the Clerk to the Board Summary Following receipt of the evidence and recommendations submitted by NHS Highland attached at Appendix 1 and a further assessment of crime statistics submitted by Police Scotland attached at Appendix 2, the Board is invited to agree options in relation to proposals for an Overprovision Statement on which to consult statutory consultees and the public and to agree an appropriate consultation period. 1. Background 1.1 On 7 August 2013, the Board agreed proposals for the process of developing a statement under section 7 of the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005 (the “Act) as to the extent to which the Board considers there to be overprovision of licensed premises, or licensed premises of a particular description, in any locality within the Board’s area. This process involved first ingathering evidence, where available, in relation to all of the five licensing objectives, with the assistance, in particular, of NHS Highland and Northern Constabulary – now part of Police Scotland. 1.2 The ingathering and analysis of evidence has taken longer than was initially anticipated and has not been an easy task. This is particularly because of the differences in the way in which data on alcohol-related harm is and has been collected by the various agencies in Highland, some being collected at intermediate geography/data zone level but some being collected at multimember ward level or, in the case of crime statistics, at police area level or police beat level.

  • Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019
    Access and Transport Baseline Report 2019 Produced as part of the Wester Ross Destination Development Plan preliminary research Context Upwards of an estimated c.100,000 tourists visit Wester Ross each year, sustaining local communities through their input to the local economy and tourism accounts for 35% of employment[1]. However, in the current climate (Summer 2019) there are concerns that a rise in tourism of up to 27% (estimate[2]) over the past few years may not be sustainable. Although a different perspective is that this has followed a deep recession in the tourism industry and visitor numbers have yet to return to the high levels enjoyed during the 1990s, the current situation is exacerbated by Local Authority and Public Agency budget cuts which have resulted in plans to close public toilets and a deterioration in road quality. In addition, the type of visitor has changed, Wester Ross is welcoming large amounts of campervans which require waste disposal facilities which are not yet in place. Local people are reporting over-flowing carparks and bins, increasing litter pollution and irresponsible behaviour. It is not unusual for local residents to cite increased litter as a negative aspect of tourism[3] and this together with other perceived negative impacts can become challenging to tourism development as the host community begin to view visitors less than favourably. Therefore, the World Tourism Organisation advises regions to adopt a model for tourism management which considers the social as well as economical and environmental impacts of tourism[4]. Mass tourism is not going away[5]. But currently, there is no hard-empirical evidence on visitor numbers, expectations and behaviour or condition of assets in Wester Ross which would allow communities, businesses, local authorities and public agencies to plan proactively.
