UK: Islay Energy Trust Appoints Project Officer

The Islay Energy Trust (IET) announced the appointment of Flora McLean as its new Tidal Energy Project Officer.

Prior to joining IET, Flora was Director of the Scottish Food and Drink Federation in Edinburgh for 13 years, and earlier spent time working as a researcher in the House of Commons. Flora, who now lives in Caol Ila, is originally from Clydebank. However, she is no stranger to Islay. Her grandmother Flora Buie was born and brought up at ‘the Bacan’ (the shoreline beyond Caol Ila distillery) and her grandfather John McNiven was from Gruinart.

 Philip Maxwell, Chairman of IET, said, “we wish Flora all the best in her new post. She will be assisting ScottishPower Renewables in the final stages of the development of the Sound of Islay Tidal Energy Project leading up to installation of the first devices, expected to be in late 2015.”
