MEMBER NEWS: JCE Energy announces ‘Green Power Partnership’ with Greyhope Bay

JCE Energy is giving Greyhope Bay the power to be green with a bespoke renewable power solution. This powerful partnership will see JCE Energy innovating their technology to meet project requirements for power on a historic and remote site, Torry Battery, through a reliable and cost-effective off-grid clean energy system. The power system will allow Greyhope Bay to operate a marine experience centre, community space and cafe at Torry Battery – a perfect vantage point to view Aberdeen harbour, city, beach and our visiting bottlenose dolphins.

JCE Energy is sharing its wide expertise in green technologies to design, manufacture and install a bespoke green power system that will use alternative energy solutions including solar, battery and eventually wind.

Jim Craig, chairman of JCE Group, said “We are delighted to be assisting Fiona and the team at Greyhope Bay in achieving a remarkable project which will undoubtedly improve the opportunities for local communities in the Aberdeen region to experience the wonderful marine environment and local surroundings of the Torry Battery.

“We believe our expertise within green energy solutions will help the journey to build a facility which is truly sustainable and provide educational awareness around growing climate issues while supporting the energy transition taking place on our doorstep.”

Greyhope Bay wish to extend an invitation to all AREG members to get involved and be part of a powerful community-led project that is leading the change, putting a spotlight on Aberdeen South and our communities’ ambitions for a more sustainable future. There are a number of opportunities to take part through both Greyhope membership and our ‘make a change’ initiative in demonstrating new technologies and operational practice for a low-impact and sustainable marine experience centre. Get in touch with Fiona McIntyre, founder and managing director of Greyhope Bay, at [email protected] to take part.

AREG has played an important role in the growth of Scotland’s renewable energy sector, engaging the supply chain and developing the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. However, we are only at the very beginning of the transition that AREG was established to both lead and support so there are still opportunities for companies to get into the constantly evolving renewables supply chain. We look forward to continuing our work together as renewables builds on its place as Scotland’s main source of power, and as we seek to deliver real change in the crucial areas of heat and transport.

Aberdeen & Grampian Chamber of Commerce has worked closely with AREG since its formation. The recent progress in the developments of offshore wind projects by Equinor and Vattenfall are as a result of the work of the group over many years. The north-east is known as the oil and gas capital of Europe. At the Chamber, we believe the region must evolve its position to being recognised as the energy capital. Whilst hydrocarbons will continue to be essential in driving our economy for years to come, the generation of renewable resources will play an increasingly important role in providing cost-effective power, innovative development and economic growth.

The enthusiasm and dedication of the early group that would become AREG was fundamental in us choosing to launch All-Energy in Aberdeen. The first tiny show was held in 2001, and AREG’s Chairman at the time, Jeremy Cresswell, played such an active role that I often describe him in terms such as All-Energy’s ‘midwife’. All-Energy is now the UK’s largest renewable and low carbon energy exhibition and conference in terms of number of attendees, space booked, and number of exhibiting companies. As AREG became firmly established, their presence and support for the event grew spectacularly over the years. We thank them most sincerely for their invaluable input.

Vattenfall has forged a strong working relationship with AREG through the development of the European Offshore Wind Deployment Centre. AREG has worked tirelessly on behalf of the North East and it can take enormous credit for the growth of sustainable energy in the region and the path it has cleared for the region to capture further investment.

Aberdeen City and Shire is emerging as a key location for renewables by successfully transferring its world-class oil and gas expertise into the sector and AREG has done much to advance this through a broad range of initiatives. It has acted as a catalyst in driving further investment in the local economy by engaging with companies, Government, public bodies and existing projects and we have been pleased to support their efforts. Scottish Enterprise will continue to engage with AREG as we increase Scotland’s use of renewable energy.
