Scottish Government – £10.5 million to support heat generation

Funding to help reduce costs to consumers and help deliver Scotland’s low carbon targets is key in supplying heat efficiently, Energy Minister Fergus Ewing confirmed today.

An additional £4 million announced today takes the funding for the next two years to £10.5 million which will support the development of district heating networks in Scotland.

Heat sources in use for various district heating systems can include: geothermal heat and solar heat.

This money will reduce pressure on household energy bills and maximising the economic opportunities to the industry through infrastructure developments.
