Tilley Updates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We can no longer get insurance for Tilley. That means that for repairs and decommissioning costs, we must self-insure. The Trust are building up the reserves to cover these eventualities \u2013 and this does mean that less money is readily available, we set a budget for the Windfall Fund each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We must prepare for a future beyond Tilley\u2019s lifespan. We are exploring ideas that have the potential to provide new income and other benefits in a post-Tilley Tiree. However, it is unlikely that any of those would generate the amount of money for the community that Tilley has. A like-for-like replacement may not be viable at present based on shifting policy – such as feed-in tariffs and funding – but we will certainly be considering every avenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meantime, the Directors of the Trust and TREL are reviewing how we can manage and use income from Tilley in ways that maximise the benefits – both now and in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
