The airfield also uses electric mowers which use fast charge during the day and slow charge overnight.

To reduce its energy consumption and become more efficient and environmentally pro-active, its buildings are all fitted with LED lighting, and it has an electric vehicle charging point on site too. Strathaven Airfield aims to become self-sustainable. The clubhouse, which is approximately 10m x 10m in size, is used on a daily basis and electricity demand is usually during the day. Within the airfield site there is a clubhouse, two hangers, several small buildings and 32 aircraft. Strathaven Airfield is a traditional airfield with grass runways, taxiways and parking areas. On 30 June 2015, airfield operations were transferred into a new not-for-profit company limited by guarantee, Strathaven Airfield Ltd. It was founded by The Scottish Flying Club in the early 1960s after it moved from its former base at Glasgow’s Renfrew Airport. Strathaven Airfield is Scotland’s oldest continually used airstrip and the third oldest operational airfield on the west of Scotland mainland. Match funding from South Lanarkshire Council Renewable Energy Fund and own funds.ĭate installed/operational: March 2021 Background
