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.
