Workmen installing a solar thermal panel on the roof of Pinmore ceramics gallery, they have received advice from the Energy agency, Ayrshire.

The Energy Agency in Ayrshire has used a community fund from the Hadyard Hill wind farm to promote energy efficiency very intensively in three local villages. This has resulted in very high take-up rates (over 63% of households) for major energy efficiency measures such as cavity wall and loft insulation, as well as specialised insulation and solar water-heating in some households. Energy supply companies are now funding the Energy Agency to replicate the work in other villages and deprived urban areas.
