    Press Release: February 2019 Paul Wheelhouse, Minister for Energy, Connectivity and the Islands officially opens Fyne Energy’s three wind turbines development to generate £15.6m of community benefit for Argyll and Bute 6.9-megawatt scheme funded by Triodos Bank and the Renewable Energy Investment Fund (REIF) After eleven years of planning and development, plus construction over the past year, Fyne Energy’s Director Colin Renfrew welcomed Paul Wheelhouse to the Auchadaduie development on the Kintyre Peninsula. The Minister also met with members of the local community along with those involved in supporting the development which has started producing energy estimated to generate £15.6 million of community and charitable benefit over the next 20 years. The project was born from the motivation that communities in Scotland could and should be able to generate income for community benefit from renewables as was initiated by Fyne Homes and the Fyne Group. The Scottish Government has supported the project as one of a number of pilots to enable Housing Associations to develop renewable projects to generate income for reinvestment in affordable housing and community priorities. The wind energy project has been realised with £10.80m investment from Triodos Bank, the UK’s leading sustainable bank and £2.82m from REIF. Colin Renfrew, Chief Executive at Fyne Homes and Fyne Energy Director said: “The Fyne Group are delighted that the three turbines are now producing energy, providing a long term income which will enable the Fyne Group and the Glenbarr Community Development Association to reinvest in our charitable objectives for social housing, local employment sustainability, and local priorities.” Fyne Energy’s three turbines are anticipated to generate an average of £750k community benefit income per annum.

  • Digital Infrastructure Update on External Programmes
    ARGYLL AND BUTE COUNCIL Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee Development and Infrastructure 7th December 2017 Services Digital Infrastructure Update on External Programmes 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 The main purpose of this report is to provide an update on the work that is being undertaken on a number of programmes, which aim to improve the digital infrastructure across Argyll and Bute. 1.2 The Council has no statutory responsibility to deliver digital infrastructure in Argyll and Bute however it continues to actively engage with external partners/stakeholders responsible for Next Generation Access (NGA) whether it be Superfast Broadband (SFB) or Mobile Communications. Next Generation Broadband 1.3 Delivery of Superfast Broadband is currently being rolled out under two programmes across Scotland – HIE ‘Highlands and Islands’ programme and Digital Scotland ‘Rest of Scotland’. The region of Argyll and Bute falls into both these programmes. Under these programmes Superfast Broadband is defined as speeds of >24 Mbps. 1.4 In Argyll and Bute 74.2% of premises have access to Super-Fast Broadband, an additional 9.1% of premises have access to the fibre network however due to their distance from the upgraded cabinet they can only get a partially upgraded service, this being speeds >24Mbps. At present 16.7% of Argyll and Bute cannot get NGA. 1.5 Due to efficiency saving and additional monies becoming available, both programmes have seen build times extended. Gainshare or Claw-back is the contract mechanism that returns public funding as take-up of the service rises, which supports reinvestment so that more areas can be upgraded to superfast broadband.
