Partnership with SSE Renewables
We have joined forces with SSE Renewables to help Highland households facing extreme fuel poverty make energy saving adaptations to their homes.
The Cost-of-Living Crisis is having a devastating impact on households across Highland. Highland Council has been delivering the Scottish Government’s Energy Efficient Scotland – Area Based Scheme for over ten years, which offers households the opportunity to benefit from grant funded innovative, energy efficiency measures, which have the potential to improve people’s living conditions.
The scheme has now received vital grant support from SSE Renewables Highland Sustainable Development Fund (£1 million), which will provide additional funds to reduce or remove entirely householder contributions for those in extreme fuel poverty.
