The Findhorn community aims to minimise its impact on the environment, for example through energy efficient buildings and use of renewable energy.

Findhorn’s energy system includes:

• Onshore wind turbines
• Community owned electricity distribution network
• 250kW Biomass boiler
• Building-mounted solar photovoltaic
• Building integrated solar hot water system
• Small biomass district heating system
• Electric vehicle (EV) charging point

We are using Findhorn’s energy system infrastructure to learn more about:

• The factors affecting the energy consumption of village residents
• How we can meet the energy trilemma for the village, balancing cost, carbon and resilience
• This will be the the 1st scenario for our Co-evolution Cycles
