As discussed at least TCC meeting, SSEN are holding a drop in event about the new Coll-Tiree electric cable.

Wednesday 14 May, 10.00 am – 3.00 pm An Talla, Isle of Tiree PA77 6UP 

See:

https://www.ssen.co.uk/about-ssen/our-works/coll-tiree-network-reinforcement/

for more details.

Work is progressing well.  The order books are open so folk should now be placing orders and it will be fulfilled by our teams in early May.

We have more resource on the island from the 22nd of April who will be focusing on survey work for the approx. 200 premises we have live so a plan can be in place for the folk who are served under ground.

Once people place an order with the internet provider of their choice you will have an appointment booked in for Openreach to attend the property and bring the cable from the closest part of the network to your premise wall.   Its important for people to understand the following…

If people want a quick installation, then they should place their order asap.  We want to fulfil as many orders as we can while we have additional resource on the island as mentioned above.
If you are in a contract and intend to stay with your current provider for ultrafast then you should be able to upgrade without a cancellation fee.
You can check to see if full fibre is available to you by going to www.openreach.com  and using our postcode checker.

Any individual issues please ask folk to reach out to me directly and I will get them resolved asap.

I’ll have a wider build update by this Friday which I will share with yourself and get a post up on social media.

Booked Utilisation Oban-Coll-Tiree Analysis

PDF shows how full the ferry is on weekends sailings for July-September 2025. This data was provided by Calmac on the 3rd March after a FOI request.

Note the numbers do not include the Desk Pilot. Also note this scheme is not operational for some ferries around TMF.

The plan is to updates these numbers regularly and a FOI request has been submitted for the next batch.
