Seven district heating schemes in Scotland will benefit from a total of £1.5 million of funding from the Scottish Government.
Six of the schemes will provide heat to social housing or private homeowners in off-gas grid areas.
All of the projects will use renewable heat generated by woodfuel or air source heat pumps.
Scottish energy minister Fergus Ewing said: “District heating is an important means of achieving both low carbon emissions and fuel poverty targets as well as contributing to the development of a low carbon economy and local economic regeneration.”
He added: “The switch to district heating is already helping take thousands of households in places like Glasgow and Aberdeen out of fuel poverty.”
The seven schemes that will receive a share of the £1.5 million of funding are in Fort William, Inverurie, Dundee, Lockerbiw, Ross-shire, Caithness, and at the Strathallan boarding school in Perthshire.
