Clean heating and energy efficiency grants to get to Net Zero
£11 million grant funding confirmed for public sector bodies. The University of Edinburgh, Fife Council and North Lanarkshire Council are among the first seven projects to share grants for clean heating and energy efficiency improvements totalling £11 million from the £20 million Public Sector Heat Decarbonisation Fund.
