Islay Energy Trust - Renewable Energy projects for the community


The Islay Energy Trust (IET) is a community owned charity that aims to develop renewable energy projects for the benefit of the community whilst reducing Islay’s carbon footprint.

We work on a range of community energy and energy efficiency projects and manage the community wind turbine on behalf of the Islay Energy Community Benefit Society (IECBS). We also distribute profits from the turbine on behalf of IECBS via the Community Benefit Fund.

Community Benefit Fund

Islay Energy Community Benefit Fund is open to individuals, community groups and businesses on Islay, Jura and Colonsay and offers three streams of funding: Strengthening Communities; Energy Efficiency; and Energy and Fuel Efficiency.
