• ​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
