Story details

The Scottish Government’s Heat in Buildings: Progress Report 2026, published on 2 October, reports 1,117 clean-heat installations through Warmer Homes Scotland in financial year 2025/26, the scheme’s highest annual total. The programme reached its 50,000th household in February 2026.

The report also puts greenhouse-gas emissions from buildings at 7.6 million tonnes of CO₂e in 2024, up 1.3% from 7.5 million tonnes in 2023. This is an annual monitoring report, not an announcement of a new installation programme.
