Information request and response under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.

Information requested

1. I have been reading your 2016-2017 delivery report, and was wondering if you could advise on whether there have been any incidences of Waste Water Heat Recovery Systems (WWHRS) for Showers being installed under HEEPS?

2. And ideally provide a breakdown of all measures installed during this time (and ideally to date).

Response

1. I can confirm that this measure has not been fitted under our schemes which prioritises insulation and heating measures to fuel poor households. Measures provided under our Home Energy Efficiency Programmes for Scotland Area Based Scheme (HEEPS:ABS) have to be Energy Company Obligation (ECO) eligible. ECO statistics are published quarterly by UK Government and the latest figures published in December 2018 can be found at the following link:
