Heat Pumps are a key driver for reducing the carbon footprint and energy costs
Gigha’s energy system can accommodate changes to maximum population
Increase in tourism would require addition generation, specifically PV, due to upsurge in tourism within summer
Additional generation must be supplemented with storage to protect the grid connection
Net-Energy Positive would require initial high investment, but would lead to eventual ‘free energy’ to occupants
Gigha can lead by example to other islands but also the U.K as we move to the renewable future we are set on
