Area Based Schemes
Scheme to reduce fuel poverty by enabling local authorities to design and deliver energy efficiency programmes in fuel poor areas. Primary focus on insulation measures for 'hard to treat' properties but includes clean heating and microgeneration measures as part of a ‘whole house’ approach.
Home Energy Scotland: Grant and Loan scheme
Has offered grants up to £15,000 for heat pumps and energy efficiency measures. Loans have also been available to cover additional costs. An additional rural uplift of £1,500 has been applied to both clean heating, such as heat pumps and energy efficiency grants.
Warmer Homes Scotland
Our national fuel poverty programme designed to help those living in or at risk of fuel poverty through the installation of measures such as insulation and clean heating systems.
Home Energy Scotland
Free independent advice and referral scheme.
Business support :
SME Loan and Cashback

Business Energy Scotland

Public sector support:
Scottish Green Public Sector Estate Decarbonisation Scheme
The main government-led capital funding mechanism to support leadership for decarbonisation of buildings owned by the public sector. The scheme comprises four support elements for public sector bodies:
- The Scottish Public Sector Non-Domestic Energy Efficiency (NDEE) Frameworks and Project Support Unit (PSU)
- The Scottish Central Government Energy Efficiency Grant scheme
- The Scottish Public Sector Energy Efficiency Loan Scheme
Multi-sector support
Scotland’s Heat Network Fund
Open to public and private sector organisations, including support for new heat networks and the decarbonisation and expansion of existing heat networks.
Heat Network Support Unit
The Heat Network Support Unit (HNSU) supports the development of heat network projects in Scotland. It does this by offering grant funding and expert advice throughout the pre-capital stages of development. We are working on building a project pipeline to meet our targets and to build capacity within the public sector to lead on, invest in and deliver heat network projects.
Social Housing Net Zero Heat Fund
Capital grant funding to support social housing landlords to install clean heating systems and energy efficiency measures.
