Funding for people who want to fit windmills, solar panels or heat pumps to their homes is to be tripled. Finance Secretary John Swinney today announced the Scottish Government will make available 13,5 million British pounds a year for the next three years to help householders, small businesses and local communities generate their own clean energy.
It means more householders will be able to access grants of up to 4000 Br.pounds and community groups up to 100.000 Br.pounds for fitting alternative energy sources.
And small businesses will for the first time be eligible for loans for microgeneration as well as for energy efficiency measures.
Of the 13.5m Br.pounds funding, 5,25m pounds will be available for community projects, 3,5m pounds for householders and 2m pounds for businesses through loans. The remaining cash will be used to provide advice and support to those seeking to install renewable technologies.
