A 1.5 MW steam biomass system designed by RD Energy Solutions is awaiting planning consent for Dumfries and Galloway Royal Infirmary.

The planning application was filed after the completion of a successful detailed feasibility survey funded by the Carbon Trust. A grant application has also been filed with the Scottish Biomass Support Scheme for 50% of the capital costs.

RD Energy Solutions has recently been commissioned to manage the procurement and development of the biomass system, which will be commissioned early 2008.

RD Energy Solutions has secured 50% grant funding for the installation of a micro wind turbine at Loanhead based EAE Distribution Ltd.

EAE is keen to reduce the carbon emissions and energy bills of the company and expect to save over £1,000 each year with the micro wind turbine.

RD Energy Solutions is currently preparing the procurement package for the project and will install the system in summer 2007.

A Scottish Biomass Support Scheme grant application for a 750 kW biomass system has been filed by RD Energy Solutions on behalf of a salmon hatchery near Loch Fyne.

The project was identified by RD Energy Solutions in 2005 and has developed with HICEC funding as a community project.

The charity involved in the project, Here We Are, plan to start a biomass supply company to deliver woodchip to the biomass project and the wider area.

A community organisation on the Western Isles has received a conditional grid connection offer for a 2.7 MW wind farm.

RD Energy Solutions filed the application with Scottish and Southern after the completion of a detailed wind energy feasibility study for the Galson Estate, which was funded by HICEC.

This news has boosted the viability of the project, which will now look to gain planning consent.

Fetterangus Community Association (FCA) have filed a planning application for the installation of a second hand 660 kW wind turbine.

The project has been developed by RD Energy Solutions, who completed the environmental overview in November 2006.

It is currently awaiting planning consent and commissioning is expected late 2007.
