Aberdeenshire Council recognises the importance of promoting Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy to help reduce CO2 emissions and combat Climate Change.
The Council has identified targets to become carbon neutral as an
authority by 2020 and as a region by 2030. Renewable energy, particularly biomass for heating, will play a major part in helping to achieve these targets, and will also benefit the local economy, particularly the forestry sector.
The Council provides advice and information on grants available to communities and businesses who are interested in reducing energy consumption and installing renewable energy.
