Fintry Community Renewable Energy Project



Fintry in Stirlingshire, Scotland is a small community of around 700 inhabitants. Like many rural communities, the town has sought to address the serious issues of depopulation, service cuts and rising energy costs.

In 2007, the town formed the Fintry Development Trust which broadly aims to reduce energy use in the village and ultimately make the village a zero-carbon, zero-waste community. This video tells their inspiring story.
