Solar - if you have a roof without it on, maybe you should be thinking that one through. There are ways to buy or not buy Solar, so many options. Definitely worth taking a look. Save money, save carbon. #SolarForBusiness #CommercialSolar #BusinessEnergy #RenewableEnergy #SustainableBusiness #NetZero #BritishGasBusiness #GreenBusiness #EnergyEfficiency #CleanEnergy #Decarbonisation

i Protech welcomes new CARES Development Fund to boost community energy projects Westhill-based energy‑technology specialist I-Protech has announced its support for the new CARES Development Fund, a Scottish Government initiative designed to help communities take their first steps toward locally owned renewable energy projects. The fund is delivered by Local Energy Scotland as part of the national Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) and offers up to £30,000 for communities which are at the start of their community-owned energy or shared ownership journey. The CARES Development Fund provides financial support, expert guidance, and early‑stage development assistance to community groups exploring renewable energy solutions, including feasibility studies, technical assessments and project planning. i-Protech has previously designed and installed bespoke green energy packages for Drummuir & Botriphnie Hall in Banffshire, and Udny Station Community Centre, creating more energy efficient environments for the various groups and clubs which use the premises, as well as a safe space for the wider community during extreme weather. i-Protech owner and director Stuart M. i‑Protech said the fund offers a major opportunity for communities across Aberdeen city and Shire which are exploring renewable energy projects. “High energy consumption and rising bills are making it increasingly difficult for many halls and community buildings to remain financially viable. This scheme is designed to help communities begin their energy journey by providing support for early‑stage project development, opening the door to explore renewable energy projects that may have previously felt out of reach. “At i-Protech, we have very recent experience of helping local communities to find sustainable solutions to reduce their energy costs and achieve their Net Zero goals. We would encourage looking at the fund if you are considering any project of this kind - £30,000 would go a long way to kick-starting your community’s ambitions.” To apply for the fund, organisations should be rooted in a clearly defined community; exist to advance that community’s interests; be controlled by residents through a majority‑community board of at least three unrelated people and operate on a non‑profit‑distributing basis. Eligible groups, including development trusts, climate action hubs, community energy groups and community councils, can apply through the Local Energy Scotland website by submitting an expression of interest and selecting the “Development Fund” option. Funding is open on a rolling basis until the end of February 2026 or until fully allocated, whichever is sooner, and funding must be drawn down by Tuesday 17 March 2026. For more information or to discuss how i‑Protech can support community energy projects, please contact: i‑Protech on (01224) 518418 or email them at info@i-protech.co.uk Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce i-Protech Technology Ltd

First successful Welsh projects in over 10 years. Clean power by 2030 means: 1. More of the energy we use is cheaper, bringing down bills. 2. We reduce our reliance on energy from overseas increasing UK energy security. 3. Billions invested in Wales and thousands of jobs created.

The UK renewables landscape is expanding fast. With ongoing ECO4 and GBIS funding, plus growing consumer interest in ASHP and solar, there’s huge opportunity for companies ready to act. Installers and providers that align with these schemes are seeing record demand, but success depends on one thing: consistent, high quality leads. We’ve been generating leads in this space for years, working with energy companies, ECO providers, and installation businesses to connect them with real homeowners eligible for funded and part funded projects. As new funding rounds and local authority support continue to roll out, we’re helping partners stay ahead with scalable, targeted campaigns built around compliance and conversion. If you’re in renewables, ASHP, or solar and want to make the most of the latest ECO and GBIS opportunities, let’s start the conversation. #RenewableEnergy #ECOFunding #GreenBusinessGrowth #SolarAndHeatPumps #LeadGeneration #ECO4 #GBIS

We are pleased to have been working with Vast on its most recent funding round and in its discussions with new financial partners to support the delivery of both its flagship Port Augusta Green Energy Hub and its growing international project pipeline. For those not across it, CSP is getting more attention globally as the riddle of how we will develop long duration storage (over 10 hours) starts to bite. The particular technology used by Vast (which converts solar radiation into heat as opposed to PV which converts solar radiation directly to electricity) allows the heat generated from sunlight to be stored in molten salt - the result being over 12 hours of useable energy storage. This allows time shifting of solar from daytime to night-time, in other words night-time solar. The outcome is dispatchable solar power which challenges the levelised cost of energy below solar PV combined with storage, and hydro, as the battle for overnight reliability hits the globe.

♨️ Decarbonising Process Heat - Hear from the man with a plan! ♨️ 🎤 Guest Speaker 1 - James Macnaghten – CEO, Caldera James will be presenting at Climate Tech Impact_South 02 next week! Caldera transforms intermittent renewable power into reliable industrial heat, enabling manufacturers to sustain production, cut carbon emissions, and stabilise energy expenses. “Why Heat is the Hidden Giant in the Race to Net Zero” James has recently closed Caldera's Series A investment round for £10m and has some fantastic insights to share on Caldera's journey to date, and why decarbonising heat is one of the UK's biggest challenges and opportunities! ♨️ Most of the UK's attention is on generating clean power. But what about heat? Caldera is tackling one of the UK’s biggest, least-talked-about carbon problems: industrial process heat. Their breakthrough heat cell storage boiler system enables intermittent renewable energy to be converted into on-demand heat and is built to scale across multiple industry sectors In this live in-person session, James will dig into: ♨️ Why heat is the elephant in the room of decarbonisation 💰 How thermal energy storage changes the economics of clean energy 💡 What Caldera’s journey reveals about scaling hard tech in the UK 📈 How the South can lead in clean tech innovation Link in the comments to register for FREE 💥 with Eventbrite. If you are within a decent travel time of Southampton on Thursday, 18th September, this will absolutely be worth your time‼️ Plus: 😋 Great event space, drinks and snacks 🤝 Supported by our event partners, the University of Southampton 👥 Networking + Community building ❓ Guest speaker 2 update tomorrow ....and me of course 😂 See you there!
