Loch Resilience Project

region, particularly the impact of unreliable telecommunications and power infrastructure on local residents, businesses, and emergency services. Following the January 2024 power and communication outages, local residents came together to discuss the impact of these disruptions and the need for stronger community resilience. Motivated by these discussions, this project seeks to leverage grants for local energy solutions, reducing reliance on existing systems and establishing a reliable local energy supply and emergency community hub. The project is supported by the Loch Community Development Association (LCDA) and funded by a grant from the Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal (FRRR), and Mycelia Renewables.
