Outer Hebrides Net Zero Foundations

外赫布里底群岛净零基础项目旨在探索和克服阻碍创建当地能源经济的非技术障碍。该项目的目的是使当地生产的可再生能源能够以更低的成本直接供应给外赫布里底社区，缓解燃料贫困，并减少从大陆电网的进口。这是当地机构多年来的雄心壮志，通过该项目，康海尔的一名净零官员将领导努力，了解监管框架、市场参与要求和潜在的本地解决方案，以实现这一雄心壮志。净零干事将与外赫布里底群岛的能源利益攸关方密切合作，寻找机会将项目活动与岛屿的交易倡议联系起来，如外赫布里底能源枢纽和净零岛屿中心。

The Outer Hebrides Net Zero Foundations project seeks to explore and overcome non-technical barriers preventing the creation of a local energy economy. The aim of the project is to enable locally generated renewable energy to be supplied directly to Outer Hebrides communities at reduced costs, alleviating fuel poverty and reducing imports from the mainland grid. This has been the ambition of local agencies for many years now and through this project a Net Zero Officer based in the Comhairle will lead efforts to understand the regulatory framework, market engagement requirements and potential local solutions to realise this ambition. The Net Zero Officer will work closely with energy stakeholders across the Outer Hebrides and look for opportunities to link project activities with Island's Deal Initiatives like the Outer Hebrides Energy Hub, and the Islands Centre for Net Zero.
