Energy Efficient Scotland: Area Based Scheme
The Scottish Government has awarded funding to help us deliver energy efficiency programmes in the Highlands as part of the Energy Efficient Scotland: Area Based Scheme (EES:ABS).
The area based programmes aim to:
- Target fuel-poor areas
- Offer insulation measures (External Wall Insulation, Cavity Wall Insulation and Loft Insulation)
- Heat your property through an Air Source Heat Pump
- Offer solar PV and battery storage
Funding is available from the Scottish Government for the installation of measures including:
- Scottish Government Energy Efficient Scotland: Area Based Scheme (EES:ABS) grant – based on property eligibility criteria
External Wall Insulation, Cavity Wall Insulation, Loft Insulation, Air Source Heat Pump and Solar PV and Battery Storage
These measures are eligible for:
- Scottish Government EES:ABS grant
An owner's contribution may be required to cover the remainder of the cost for installation.
If you have a question relating to the EES:ABS programme, contact EES-ABS@highland.gov.uk.
