Scotland is in line to secure £321 million in energy investment over the next three years to help households reduce fuel bills. The energy companies have pledged to move quickly to increase spend in Scotland from the £3.36 billion fund created to achieve the GB-wide Carbon Emissions Reductions Target (CERT). CERT is an initiative that places an obligation on companies to provide households with subsidised energy efficiency measures, such as cavity wall and loft insulation, energy efficient appliances and low energy light bulbs. Communities Minister Stewart Maxwell chaired the first meeting of the Scottish CERT Strategy Steering Group last week, bringing together key players from energy companies to help boost energy efficiency investment north of the Border.
