Dunblane Centre Solar Project Saves Energy Costs, Wins National Award
What happened
A solar power project at the Dunblane Centre received the Alan Clark Award for Local/Community Energy at an event in Birmingham. The roof-mounted system, funded by GreenPower, is expected to save the community facility up to £9,000 annually in energy costs. These savings are being reinvested to help the charity maintain its building and support affordable activities.

Why it matters
The installation strengthens the long-term financial sustainability of the Dunblane Centre, which does not receive council funding. The energy cost reductions allow the charity to reinvest savings directly back into community support and building maintenance.
