What does Widt do?

The purpose of the Trust is to support the regeneration and development of the Outer Hebrides through disbursement of community benefit secured from the local deployment of renewable energy installations. This community benefit will come from a range of technologies, predominately onshore wind, offshore wind, wave and tidal. Over time and as grid connectivity allows, the Trust will expand its activities to support community ownership of large scale renewable energy infrastructure with the objective of addressing fuel poverty through access to locally generated “green” electricity.
