Question
To ask the Scottish Government how much money will be available for homeowners to use through its new Warmer Homes Scotland scheme.
Answer
Budgets for the scheme will be set out annually in line with the Scottish Budget allocation process.
The contract for the Warmer Homes Scotland successor has a maximum value of £728m (ex VAT) over a period of 7 years.
Household intervention rates have not yet been set for the scheme, however these are anticipated to be higher than the current Warmer Homes Scotland scheme.
This support through WHS sits alongside other help, such as our Home Energy Scotland grant scheme and our Area Based Schemes which provide local delivery of energy efficiency improvements.
