Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-17423 by Patrick Harvie on 9 May 2023, how much funding has been allocated for the loans to date, and whether it has a target for the number of private rented sector landlords that it hopes will use the scheme.
Answer
The Private Rented Sector Landlord Loan Scheme was launched in April 2020 to support landlords with the cost of installation for energy efficiency improvements, renewable systems and energy storage systems.
The funding allocated for the scheme is set out in the following table:
Allocated Budget for Private Rented Sector Landlord Loan Scheme | |
Year | Allocated Budget |
2020 - 2021 | £1,000,000 |
2021 - 2022 | £500,000 |
2022 – 2023 | £500,000 |
2023 – 2024 | £500,000 |
The scheme is demand led and as such, there are no specific targets set for the usage of the scheme.
