The grants scheme operated in Scotland to support the uptake of renewable energy system installations in domestic properties looks set to run out of money by month's end and no additional revenue appears to be forthcoming to keep it running.
It is such a shame this successful programme will be put on hold until some additional financing can be secured. All this means is that there will be a) a backlog of applicants and b) a dramatic impact on the installer network that relies on this incentive to help generate work as business will undoubtedly slow during the closure period.
Even more curious was the government's calling for more people to apply to the scheme - seems odd considering applicants were likely to be left out in the cold? The delay will have an impact on homeowners benefiting from the Feed In Tariff as well.
No matter, hopefully additional revenue can be found to open the doors again and help support homeowners in reducing their carbon emissions.
