BIOMASS HEATING SCHEME OPENS FOR APPLICATIONS - Posted: Jun 10, 2010

A final call has gone out to small-medium sized businesses across
Scotland encouraging them to take advantage of Scottish Government
funding that will help them make the switch to biomass heating.
Applications are being invited for the Scottish Biomass Heat Scheme,
which will give grants to small and medium sized businesses to install
renewable heating systems. To reach European climate change targets, the
Government wants to increase by tenfold the amount of renewables used
for heating in Scotland. The Scottish Biomass Heat Scheme is managed in
partnership between Scottish Government and Forestry Commission
Scotland. Projects must clearly demonstrate that they can be complete by
March 2011. Therefore projects which have a completed specification,
planning permission, match finance in place and can demonstrate a secure
fuel supply will be a priority for fast-tracking. Applicants should
submit an initial enquiry form that outlines their project details,
however if a project is to be considered for fast-tracking to the full
assessment stage, a full application must be submitted. Anyone
interested has until 30 September to apply.
