Today we’re sharing a short video about the Wallacetown Community Energy Project (WCEP) and the vision behind it.

This project is about putting our community at the heart of the energy transition. By exploring community-led renewable energy, we can create opportunities that bring real benefits back into Wallacetown, supporting local initiatives, improving sustainability, and building a stronger future for everyone.

Community energy is not just about power generation. It’s about local people having a stake in the decisions and benefits that shape their area.

Take a look at the video and see what we’re working towards together.

Wallacetown Community Energy Project Launch



I would like to extend my sincere thanks to everyone who joined us for the launch of the The Wallacetown Community Energy Project
Your presence meant a great deal, not just to the Association, but to the wider community whose ambition and determination made this project possible.

The event marked far more than the installation of solar panels. It represented partnership in action — community leadership supported by government, industry and dedicated professionals working together to deliver meaningful change.

To our funders, partners, elected members, officers, project team, school leaders and pupils — thank you for your belief, your support and your commitment throughout this journey.

Seeing the plaques presented to our young people before being handed to their Head Teachers was a powerful reminder of what this project is truly about: investing in the next generation and demonstrating that communities like Wallacetown can lead from the front in Scotland’s Net Zero journey.

The warmth in the room, the pride on display and the conversations that followed reinforced something important — this is not the end of a project, but the continuation of a partnership.

Thank you again for being part of this milestone moment.

With appreciation,

Alan Roseweir on behalf of the Fort Seafield and Wallacetown Community Association and the Wallacetown Community Energy Project

What a day for Wallacetown 💚

Today’s launch of the Wallacetown Community Energy Project was a powerful reminder of what can happen when a community comes together with shared purpose and belief in a better future.

Thank you to everyone who attended, supported, and helped make today possible — from partners and volunteers to local residents, schools, and supporters who continue to back this vision. Your presence showed that this project belongs to the whole community.

A special thank you to Alan for his leadership on the project and for helping bring Wallacetown’s story to wider audiences, and to everyone working behind the scenes to turn ambition into action.

This is only the beginning. Wallacetown is not just talking about change — we are building it, together.

Onward 💚
