To ask the Scottish Government how many entities have been named as installers on Home Energy Scotland (HES) Grant and Loan scheme applications, broken down by (a) local authority area, (b) type of low-carbon heat technology and (c) type of energy efficiency measure.

The answer

From the launch of the Home Energy Scotland (HES) Grant and Loan Scheme in December 2022 to September 2023, 1013 unique installers were listed on applications to the scheme.
The following table shows the number of unique installers that have been listed on applications to the scheme in each local authority area:

Where an installer has been listed on applications to the scheme in several different local authority areas, they have been counted as a unique installer under each area.
The information requested for type of low-carbon heat technology and type of energy efficiency measures could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
