Question
To ask the Scottish Government what data it has on the emissions savings that it anticipates will be achieved, should all new builds require to be fitted with alternatives to direct emissions heating systems, such as those run on fossil fuel, from 2024.
Answer
The Scottish Government is currently consulting on its final proposals for the New Build Heat Standard. This consultation will inform the final regulations which are expected to be laid during 2023 before coming into force in April 2024. Alongside those regulations we will publish a Business Regulatory Impact Assessment. This will set out estimated costs and benefits of the approach, including emissions reductions.
