Question reference: S6W-29326

  • Asked by: Ash Regan, MSP for Edinburgh Eastern, Alba Party
  • Date lodged: 27 August 2024
  • Current status: Answered by Alasdair Allan on 16 September 2024

Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether the Scottish National Investment Bank has been approached for low-interest finance by local authorities as part of their drive towards net zero buildings.


Answer

As noted in the answer to question S6W-29325 on 16 September 2024, the Bank cannot invest in local authorities and it does not make sub-commercial investments or provide grant funding.

As the Bank has operational independence it can work with local authorities and create joint venture structures, as long as the Bank is not investing in the local authority.
