The question

To ask the Scottish Executive what the projected number is of electricity generating technology devices expected to be installed in light of the withdrawal of the Energy Saving Scotland home renewables grant for such devices.

The answer

Answered by Jim Mather on 15 Apr 2010 · 21 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government expects that installations of renewable electricity generating devices will significantly increase with the introduction of the Feed-In Tariff (FIT) on 1 April 2010, even in light of the withdrawal of Energy Saving Scotland home renewables grants for these devices.
The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change have projected that installations under the FIT will total 750,000 across the UK by 2020 and we will seek at least Scotland''s proportionate share of this.
