Company Information

Brief Overview

Highlands and Islands Community Energy Company (HICEC) is a non-profit distributing company and our aim is for all communities across the Highlands and Islands to be able to generate and use renewable energy for their long term and collective benefit.

We provide free advice, grant funding and finance for renewable energy projects developed by community groups to benefit their community. This extends to non-profit distributing organisations such as social enterprises and housing associations. Our area of operation is the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. We assist from the earliest stage of a project idea through to helping to ensure it is running. We can help communities who want to fit renewable energy equipment into a building to help reduce running costs and use of fossil fuels such as oil. We can also help if those groups who wish to develop a larger-scale project to generate and sell energy to gain a long-term income for their community or organisation. We work to raise the profile of renewable energy and the opportunities it presents for communities in the Highlands and Islands.
