In addition to direct expenditure, the share of administration costs allocated to the Economy, Jobs and Fair Work Portfolio is £12m. This gives a total net expenditure of £332m.
Explanation of Major Variances greater than £3m:
Note 1 £11m due to lower than anticipated take-up of demand-led capital grant schemes such as Renewable Energy Capital, Innovative Energy Storage, Low Energy Challenge Fund, District Heating, Community And Renewable Energy Scheme ( CARES) and Scotland's Energy Efficiency Programme ( SEEP) partially offset by additional expenditure on Hydrogen Buses, Renewable Energy Investment Fund, Research and Development and other capital projects within SG. Further £4m as a result of lower than anticipated take-up of demand-led current grant schemes in Energy Efficiency, Low Carbon Economy and Hydrocarbons partially offset by additional expenditure on Renewable Energy projects. £4m following public sector loans reclassification. £3m due to a repayment in respect of the mixed plastics recycling fund with further £3m of planned savings in Knowledge Transfer and in Innovation and Investment Hubs which will be allocated to new hubs with additional £1m in other minor variances.
Note 2 £2m of savings relating to Community Jobs Scotland with additional £2m in other minor variances.
Note 3 £16m of net costs relating to the closure of legacy European Structural Funds programmes.
Note 4 Adjustments to provisions for ESF schemes and fair value adjustments relating to foreign exchange rate movements.
Note 5 £4m following public sector loans reclassification partially offset by £1m in other minor variances.
Remaining £2m consists of other minor variances across a number of programmes within the portfolio.
