Scottish Biomass Heat Scheme
A final application round of the £3.3 million Scottish Biomass Heat Scheme has been launched.
Through the Scottish Government-backed fund, SMEs can grab grants worth up to £100,000 to cover 50% of the capital cost towards installing a new biomass heating system.
This final application window is available to organisations that are ineligible for funding through the Scottish Rural Development Plan (SRDP) and Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES).
Projects must be completed by the end of March 2011, with the remaining grants set to be prioritised at the following groups:
- SMES in the Highlands and Islands region of Scotland.
- Private developers looking to support district heating schemes.
The final round will be open to applications until 30 September or until all funds have been allocated.
Since it was first launched back in October 2008, the scheme has allocated £3.2 million in an effort to increase small business competitiveness, create a growing market for biomass, cut carbon emissions, and contribute towards meeting the Scottish Government’s target of generating 11% of the country’s energy from renewable sources by 2020
