Grants or payments made to Energy Action Scotland since 2017: FOI release

Information requested

Please provide details of all Scottish Government payments, whether grants or payments for services, to Energy Action Scotland, 1st January 2017 - date.

Response

The majority of the grants and payments made to Energy Action Scotland (EAS) by The Scottish Government from the period of 01 January 2017 to 31 March 2022 are included in the following published reports. These are publicly accessible online at the following link: Government spend over £25,000: monthly reports - gov.scot (www.gov.scot).

Under section 25(1) of FOISA, we do not have to give you information which is already reasonably accessible to you. If, however, you do not have internet access to obtain this information from the website listed, then please contact me again and I will send you a paper copy.

Two smaller payments under £25,000 in this period are not included. These are:

Supplier/ Payee	Invoice Date	Payment Amount (£)
EAS	17-Feb-21	450
EAS	07-Dec-21	450

For the period 1 April 2022 going forward, unfortunately there is a delay in the publication of more recent reports. I therefore include the following table detailing the remaining grants and payments made to EAS by The Scottish Government from the period of 01 April 2022 to time of writing:

Supplier/ Payee	Invoice Date	Payment Amount (£)
EAS	07-Nov-22	846
EAS	01-Dec-22	75,000
EAS	16-Jan-23	37,500
EAS	22-Mar-23	37,500
