Research output: Book/Report › Other report

Abstract

Due to their remoteness on the central grid and lack of population density, the Scottish Islands face a considerable number of energy challenges, despite the rapidly growing pool of renewable generation and innovation in the region.
The purpose of this brief is to provide an overview and to bring attention to the energy issues specifically faced on the Scottish Islands, with broader implications for grid-remote spaces, and to provide implementable recommendations that can alleviate such issues while working towards broader net-zero goals.
