Get advice and support

A team of 12 SCHRI Development Officers are responsible for providing local advice and project management support to help community groups develop renewable energy projects. SCHRI Development Officers are based in each of the five Energy Saving Scotland advice centres (ESSac) and at Community Energy Scotland offices. See the map below for contact details.

Development Officers work to promote local community renewables by:

• Providing expertise and developing networks to drive projects forward
• Bringing interested parties, skilled advisers and funding parties together to develop and implement schemes
• Signposting communities to other UK and Scottish funding sources
• Advising on planning and legislative requirements
• Assisting with selecting appropriate installers and other renewable energy specialists
