11kW Wind Turbine
2024
Located on a rocky knoll behind our head office, this 11kW wind turbine is now generating clean, renewable energy.
It supports our operations by reducing energy costs and plays a key role in lowering our carbon footprint.
10kW Solar Panels
2024
Installed beside our 11kW wind turbine, this 10kW solar array strengthens our renewable energy mix. Positioned for optimal sun exposure, the ground-mounted panels generate clean electricity throughout the day, helping reduce reliance on grid power and lower carbon emissions.
Even on cloudy days, the system performs efficiently and requires minimal maintenance - making it a smart, long-term investment in sustainability and energy resilience.
Recycling & Engineering Site
2024
This newly constructed facility supports our commitment to sustainability by housing the repurposing of mussel line recycling operations alongside our engineering workshop.
The building enables efficient processing and refurbishment of materials, reducing waste and extending the life of our aquaculture equipment.
Hybrid Vessels
In 2006, we introduced our first hybrid vessel and have continued to invest in sustainable innovation ever since.
Today, Inverlussa operates a fleet of 23 modern, purpose-built vessels supporting the aquaculture industry helping to reduce emissions and enhance operational efficiency.
100kWh Battery Storage
2024
Located next to our head office, this 100kWh battery storage system plays a key role in maximising the benefits of our on-site renewable energy. It stores excess electricity generated by both the 11kW wind turbine and the 10kW ground-mounted solar panels.
By capturing and storing renewable energy for use during low-generation periods (like at night or during calm weather), the battery helps us reduce reliance on the grid, improve energy resilience, and further cut our carbon footprint.
Office Extension
2022
As Inverlussa grew, a large modern office extension was completed in 2022.
Designed with sustainability in mind, the building features high-quality insulation and an energy-efficient air source heat pump system, helping to reduce energy consumption.
Fast EV Chargers
2024
Our office is equipped with 4 fast electric vehicle chargers that support the company’s fleet of 8 hybrid vehicles.
These chargers enable quick, efficient charging during the workday, helping reduce emissions and promote sustainable transportation within our operations.
Inverlussa Mussel Farm
Since 1980
Established in the 1980s, our mussel farm has steadily grown over the decades and has been producing around 500 tonnes of high-quality mussels annually for over 20 years. We are proud to cultivate award-winning, rope-grown mussels in pristine Grade A waters in beautiful Loch Spelve.
For more than 30 years, Inverlussa has supplied customers with sustainably farmed mussels, maintaining a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and product excellence. We are also proud suppliers to the Scottish Shellfish Marketing Group, which distributes our mussels to the four major supermarkets.
Our strategy includes:
- Investing in more energy-efficient vessels and technologies
- Optimising operational practices to reduce fuel consumption
- Supporting our clients in achieving their own environmental goals
- Monitoring and transparently reporting our progress
As we move forward, sustainability remains a core focus of our business, not just as a regulatory requirement, but as a long-term commitment to the marine environment, the communities we work in, and the future of responsible aquaculture.
