Join Energy Local East Loch Lomond

We are setting up a Local Energy Club linked to the Buchanan Community Hydro Society (BCHS).  

Households that join the club will benefit from cheaper electricity when the hydro is generating.  The hydro will also benefit from a higher energy price when club members are using the energy. As BCHS is a community benefit organisation, all profits go back into the community from an annual grant scheme.

Although we are initially setting up the club with BCHS, any generators within the area of the club can sell their energy into the club, and we are hoping to expand the club to include more solar and hydro generators in the future.

To register interest in joining the club, either as a consumer or a generator, please register your interest by clicking the Join the Club button and entering your details.  

To find out more, please catch up with us at any of these:

  • Drymen Village Hall information session - 7pm, Fri 21 August  (best option for finding out most about how the club works!)
  • Buchanan Flower Show - 2pm, Sat 22 August

Thank you!
