WINDPOWER SET TO HEAT TIREE’S NEW HALL
An Talla, Tiree’s new community hall is taking shape on the site of the old hall at Crossapol.

The Hall will now have its own 6 kilowatt wind turbine to provide electricity too keep it warm, thanks to a grant from the Scottish Community and Householder Renewables Initiative (SCHRI).

Catriona MacLennan, Treasurer of An Talla commented ‘ We are thrilled to be getting our own small wind turbine. We’ll be able to keep our heating costs low and our hall warm. That way we can be sure the Hall will be a well used and well maintained.’

Steven Watson, Manager with Argyll, Lomond and the Islands Energy Agency (ALIenergy) who arranged the grant welcomed the success of An Talla’s application. ‘ Incorporating renewable energy and energy efficiency in to this new building is a great step forward. Soon, all new community buildings will adopt this environmentally sustainable and clever approach to meeting their energy needs.’
