Assisted Connections - Scotland

What is Funded:

This initiative has the support of Ofgem and is designed to assist customers:

in existing housing who live in areas that are considered to be among the most deprived in the country.
who qualify for energy efficiency measures under the CERT(Carbon Energy Reduction Target) programme.
who qualify for the UK or Scottish Governments' heat replacement schemes.
who can demonstrate they qualify as 'Fuel Poor'. This is where more than 10% of income is spent on heating homes to a satisfactory level.

The initiative applies equally to customers who already live within mains gas areas as well as those living in communities where currently mains gas is not available.

Funding Levels:

For those within mains gas areas we expect the majority of connections to be free of charge. In other cases qualifying connections may also be free or at least significantly reduced when customers submit our special “Assisted Connections Voucher” along with a connection request.
