Highland Energy Community Partnership

The HECP is a five year project bringing together six resilient Highland communities who are determined to collaborate in order to bring down energy costs and cut carbon emissions for local homeowners.

Our aim is not only to work together over five years, but to try to build in legacy solutions that continue after it ends.

To fund the project, we worked with the Scottish organisation - Changeworks - to secure £1.5m of funding from the National Lottery, alongside supporting partners: Home Energy Scotland, University of Highlands and Islands, Highland Council.

Ullapool Launch Event

LUCT launched HECP to our community on 25th April 2025 with an educational event covering:

  • Home energy performance

  • Retrofit standards

  • Energy supply options

With thanks to the Ulluminate science festival team for their help in organising the event and to our Developing Young Worforce work experience student Lael Macdonald for his work in the run up to the event.
