Innovative idea to use Loch Leven to heat Kinross-shire homes
05.12.2022 - 18:59 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A radical idea has been unveiled to use Loch Leven as an energy source to fuel a district heating system.
Water would be extracted from the picturesque loch and potentially used to heat homes and public buildings in Kinross and Milnathort.
The proposal was presented to members of the Kinross-shire Local Committee on Thursday, November 24.
The committee's convener Willie Robertson said he had been approached by David Cairns about the idea.
The Liberal Democrat Kinross-shire councillor told the committee: "I thought it was extremely exciting."
A district heating system distributes heat to a network of properties from a central location. Mr Cairns has been working with a small group called CATCH (Climate Action Through Community Heating) to explore whether it would offer a "plausible route to affordable heating for the residents of Kinross and Milnathort while reducing carbon emissions".
He said the group CATCH formed "after a rather depressing COP26".
Mr Cairns added: "It's very obvious as a community we have opportunities to work together to move the carbon needle."
He told committee members Loch Leven had "high potential" as an energy source but - as a Special Protection Area - presented constraints too.
He said: "If we are going to look at leveraging heat from the loch, the loch as a nature reserve has very strict constraints.
"Protecting Loch Leven as a nature reserve has to be the number one priority from a nature point of view."
Douglas Fraser of Glenfarg Community Council expressed several concerns. He wondered about: the effect on the loch; "the suitability of existing heating systems as to whether they are adaptable"; the temperature of the water that would be circulating; where funding would come from fearing it
