A £50 million fund that will invest in green energy projects to
help heat homes across Scotland has been officially launched
today
Housing Minister Margaret Burgess announced that two pilot
schemes in Glasgow and the Highlands will be the first to be
benefit from the Warm Homes Fund.
West Whitlawburn Housing Cooperative in Glasgow and West
Highland Housing Association in Oban will both receive assistance
for biomass heating schemes, helping more than 550 households to
heat their homes more cost effectively.
More councils and housing associations are now being asked to
submit bids for the Fund, which will provide grants and loans for
the installation of renewable energy measures such as biomass,
hydro schemes, wind turbines and solar water heating.
