Local heat and energy strategy delivery plan

This document contains Orkney Islands Council’s five-year plan for making buildings warmer, more energy efficient and less dependent on fossil fuels. It sets four priorities: improving homes, reducing fuel poverty, upgrading Council buildings and exploring heat networks, with actions covering insulation, heat pumps, building assessments, grid planning, funding and partnership work. It identifies Central and West Kirkwall as the main heat network areas for further study, alongside opportunities elsewhere. Progress will be monitored annually, with the wider strategy reviewed every five years.
