Cllr Uisdean Robertson, Chair of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar’s Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, last week gave a cautious but qualified welcome following the Scottish Government’s confirmation that the next Clyde and Hebrides Ferry Services (CHFS3) contract will be directly awarded to CalMac Ferries Limited (CFL).

Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks (SSEN), the Distribution Network Operator for the north of Scotland is welcoming applications for this year’s Powering Communities to Net Zero fund.

Comhairle nan Eilean Siar has expressed its frustration at the Office of the Gas and Electricity Markets (OFGEM) for failing to address the needs of consumers in the Western Isles and delaying long planned renewable energy projects.
