26Apr2011
Leading Scottish land and estate agents Bell Ingram has revealed that its three one-day sessions to help cut through confusion surrounding small scale renewable schemes, known as microgeneration projects, attracted record numbers.

The fact-filled events in Inverness, Oban and Perth attracted more than 200 people – in particular farmers, landowners and leisure operators - interested in benefiting from the rural renewable revolution.
Graham Lumby, managing director of Bell Ingram, said: "We were very impressed with the turnout at this year’s events and the high levels of interest from landowners across Scotland.
“Most importantly, the number of people attending each of the events compared to previous seminars is up by 20 per cent which is very encouraging.
“In addition, there was a 40 per cent increase in the amount of traffic geared towards the microgeneration section of our website.
“The numbers are evidence that advice and information on this vital sector is not only necessary but also sought after and we hope we have given audiences the confidence to take the next step.”
The seminars covered a range of topics including generating electricity as part of the Government’s Feed in Tariff Scheme, funding for wind and hydro microgeneration schemes and Renewable Heat Incentives (RHI).
Bell Ingram has built a respected and trusted name in rural land and property matters since the firm was established in Perth 112 years ago.
Graham added: “This marked increase in interest is proof that the renewables revolution in Scotland is continuing to pick up pace.
“With increased Government energy incentives and power bills maintaining their upwards spiral, the focus on renewable energy has never been more acute.
“We’re already planning our next round of seminars and hope they will be as successful as the last.”
