National Retrofit Programme: Transforming Scotland’s Housing for a Sustainable Future

The National Retrofit Programme (NRP) aims to upgrade Scotland's housing stock, combat fuel poverty, and reduce carbon emissions over the next decade. With a £65 million fund set to leverage up to £200 million for energy efficiency initiatives, local authorities will play a crucial role in implementation. The program includes targeted measures for affordable warmth, carbon saving communities, and solid-wall treatment, ensuring that rural areas are prioritized. Ongoing collaboration with COSLA, energy companies, and community organizations will enhance Scotland’s energy efficiency and investment attractiveness.
