Immediate release
04/012/09
Highlands and Islands SNP MSP Rob Gibson has called on landlords, small to medium sized enterprises, Not for profit organizations and charities to make the most of the Scottish Governments energy saving loans
These organisations are eligible for a 0% interest loan of between £1,000 and £100,000 to install renewable energy technologies or measures that reduce energy consumption.
The loan funded by the Scottish Government is available for (among other things*) high efficacy heating, biomass systems as well as renewable features such as, wind hydro and solar panels.
Mr Gibson said...
"This a great deal which is definitely worth investigating. It is a chance to become more energy efficient and save money."
"Increased Energy efficacy is a win win situation. I would encourage SMEs, charities, not for profit organsiation and landlords to look seriously at this loan. It offers a way in which to improve their property as well as lessen energy usage and carbon emissions."
"In the climate change era being more energy independent is going to become more important. This loan is a way of achieving that energy independence."
