Information requested

Please tell me the number of households impacted by the Home Energy Efficiency Programmes for Scotland (HEEPS), for the years (i) 2016/17, (ii) 2017/18, (iii) 2018/19, (iv) 2019/20, and (v) 2020/21, broken down programme and by local authority area.

Response

I enclose a copy of some of the information you requested. Please note that this information is collected on a regional basis as the service is delivered regionally as opposed to a local authority basis and so the Scottish Government does not hold information for surveys and installs at local authority level.

The table below shows the number of households helped on a regional basis.

The following table shows a breakdown of numbers of loans issued through the Home Energy Scotland loan scheme. We do not hold this information by the number of households receiving a loan because, in some cases households apply for more than one loan.
