Community Benefit
The Buchanan Hydro Community Benefit Fund has been established as a means of enabling Buchanan Community Hydro Society to financially support communities within its remit area.
Money for the fund comes from financial surpluses from the community owned Buchanan Hydro scheme - a 100kWp run of river hydro scheme located on the Achlais Burn, near Milton of Buchanan on the east side of Loch Lomond.
