Applications received by Scottish Government for Just Transition Funding: EIR release

Information requested

Could you please tell me, broken down by year from when the Just Transition Fund was announced to the present date, how many applications have been received by the Scottish Government for funding. Can the following information be broken down by year.

Response

In 2022, we received a total of 102 applications to the Just Transition Fund. No funding rounds were open in 2023 and 2024; therefore, no applications were received during those years. As we are currently in the process of accepting applications for the 2025–2026 financial year, we are unable to provide data for this period at present. Please refer to the table below for further details:

Fund	Year	Applications Received
Just Transition Fund	2022	102
