Highland Council solar panels turned on almost 11 years late

Highland Council has been seeking to meet its net-zero targets, including reducing the amount of energy its uses for its properties and fleet of vehicles.

Net zero means no longer adding to the total volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Last year, a council report warned of “limited progress” in some areas of achieving its aims.

It has a number of other renewable and low-carbon projects.

They include Hydro Ness, which generates electricity from the River Ness at Inverness using an Archimedes screw – a means of drawing water at low level to a higher level using a design attributed by some experts to the ancient Greek scientist Archimedes.

The local authority is building an air source heat pump system to warm Inverness Castle and neighbouring properties.

It has also been piloting the use of electric cargo bikes in some of its staff’s work.
