Heat in Buildings: progress report 2023

Future reporting plans

The Heat in Buildings Strategy included a provisional renewable heat target (RHT). The RHT, as currently defined, is an important measure of our renewable ambitions, but alone, is insufficient to measure Heat in Buildings progress, such as the growth in clean heating systems. As part of the Energy Strategy Just Transition Plan, we are considering alternative approaches. We published a RHT update in May 2023 as part of the Climate Change Plan monitoring report, and will continue to do so on this schedule.

By the end of 2023, we will publish a new Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the Scottish Government’s Heat in Buildings Strategy. For the next iteration of this progress report, we will report against the new Monitoring and Evaluation Framework.
