Up to 17,000 green jobs could be created if ministers found almost £100 million more in their budget for tackling fuel poverty and energy efficiency, campaigners have claimed.
Friends of the Earth Scotland, the Existing Homes Alliance and the Living Rent campaign group joined forces to make the claim for additional cash, arguing there could be a “triple win” for Scotland.
They want to see the budget for tackling fuel poverty and improving the energy efficiency of homes increased from £145.6 million in the 2021-22 draft budget to £244 million.
