McMillan Welcomes Action to Combat Fuel Poverty
Stuart McMillan MSP (SNP) and Member of the Scottish Parliament Energy Committee has today (Monday) welcomed the announcement from the Scottish Government that 200,000 homes across Scotland will be offered free help to save on energy bills.
Over the next year, the £12.5 million Universal Home Insulation Scheme (UHIS) will be administered by local authorities to offer a range of free home insulation measures to improve energy efficiency and reduce fuel poverty.
Mr McMillan said;
“I’m pleased to learn the Scottish Government continues to take the issue of fuel poverty very seriously and this funding announcement further demonstrates that commitment.
“With the onset of winter just round the corner, now more than ever, we need to offer support and immediate assistance to those most in need to help them heat their homes and stay energy efficient.
“Therefore, I welcome the Universal Home Insulation funding of £ 175,000 for West Dunbartonshire.”
