Citizens' Advice Scotland publish research into the estimated costs of improving the energy efficiency of Scotland's homes
Briefing paper presents CAS’ estimate of how much it will cost to raise the energy performance of all homes in Scotland to at least an EPC C by 2040 (EPC B for social sector homes) in line with the Scottish Government’s target under Energy Efficient Scotland (EES).
Irrespective of who pays, CAS estimate that the total investment required to bring the energy performance of homes in Scotland up to at least EPC C in the 20 years to 2040 is in the region of £11.1 billion. This is in contrast with the Scottish Government’s cost estimate of £8 billion for domestic properties.
