The Scottish government has released a further £11 million of funding for homes and businesses via local authorities in the second pilot phase of Scotland’s Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP) pathfinder fund.
The new funding will assist local authorities test new energy-saving approaches with households, community groups and businesses that can then be taken forward when SEEP is fully rolled out in 2018.
The new scheme follows around £9 million awarded across 11 local authority areas in October 2016 under the first pathfinder fund. This saw energy saving measures installed across public sector and private commercial buildings.
Following an application phase closing in May, grants will be offered on 12th June to successful applicants with projects to be implemented by February 2019. Finance will be offered in the form of grants, loans, guarantees or a combination of these, with the Scottish government to meet a maximum of 50% of the project cost as grant.
