Home Energy Funding Guides by Scottish Council
Most home energy funding in Scotland is set nationally, but how it plays out depends on where you live, from listed flats in Edinburgh to off-gas farms in rural Fife.
Does home energy funding differ between Scottish councils?
The main grant and loan schemes are national, so the core rules are the same across Scotland. What changes locally is the type of home, whether it is on mains gas, and planning limits such as conservation areas. Scottish Government-backed grants and loans may be available, subject to eligibility.
