Question
To ask the Scottish Government what information it has on how many churches are powered by renewable energy.
Answer
We do not hold information directly regarding churches and their energy sources and this information might best be sought from central contacts for each denomination in Scotland. However, the Energy Saving Trust has supported four churches with funding to install renewable technologies through the Resource Efficient Scotland SME loan while other groups, such as Eco-congregations, have been active in the promotion of renewable energy through engagement with a number of Climate Challenge Fund projects.
