Arrochar Community Hydro Finalist in the Scottish Green Energy Awards 2018
Arrochar Community Hydro Society has been announced as a finalist in the Scottish Green Energy Awards 2018 for the award category of Best Community Project Award. Arrochar Community Hydro was initiated by Luss Estates and the land on which it is situated is leased by Luss Estates to the Community Hydro Society at a peppercorn rent.

The other projects shortlisted in the category are:
Community Energy Scotland for the Surf 'n' Turf Project
Fair Isle Electricity Company for the Fair Isle Low Carbon Energy System
Awesome Energy Dalriada for the River Avich Hydro Scheme
