Isles of Scilly Sustainable Energy Strategy

THE ISLES OF SCILLY SUSTAINABLE ENERGY STRATEGY Opens in a new window

The Council of the Isles of Scilly, with the help of the Cornwall Sustainable Energy Partnership, has developed a Sustainable Energy Strategy for the islands.

The Isles of Scilly Sustainable Energy Strategy will complement the Local Plan, the AONB Management Plan and the Isles of Scilly Design Guide. It aims to raise awareness concerning the provision and consumption of energy and seeks to promote actions that will improve the energy profile of the Isles of Scilly. The intention is for the Sustainable Energy Strategy to be inspirational, helping to guide private, public and domestic energy users to consider the benefits of consuming energy in a more sustainable manner. The strategy will help make the islands more self sufficient and ideally a net exporter of energy. It seeks to reduce local impact on climate change, enhance the quality of life for those people living in fuel-poor homes and improve business performance by minimising the energy resources necessary to deliver an organisation's targets.

A limited number of copies of the Sustainable Energy Strategy are available from the Planning and Development Department in the Old Wesleyan Chapel, St Mary's.

For further information, please contact the Planning and Development Department at the postal or e-mail addresses provided or by phone on 01720 424350.
