In December 2013 Orkney Micro Renewables were the recipients of the SURF Award for Infrastructure and Social Benefit. It was really special to be recognised for the work we have been doing in community development and renewable infrastructure. 

The national SURF Awards for Best Practice in Community Regeneration are held each year and aim to:

• To recognise and reward best practice and innovation in community regeneration;
• To promote and disseminate best practice across Scotland as means of sharing knowledge and experience, and thereby enhancing future policy and practice;
• To highlight the role that regeneration projects have in improving the wellbeing of individuals and communities.
