The motion

That the Parliament commends Aberdeenshire Council for its continuing efforts to make its housing stock more energy efficient; understands that there were nearly 2,000 upgrades to more than 1,600 properties across Aberdeenshire over the 2020-21 financial year, including wall insulation, improvements to heating systems, and replacement of doors and windows; notes that other activities underway include the installation of solar panels to 500 council properties across the area as part of the Smart, Solar and Storage project, and that battery units and smart devices are also being installed to help manage the use of energy in the home; understands that upgrades so far have contributed an overall carbon emission saving of 1,410 tonnes of CO2 per year, as well as reducing overall running costs, and welcomes the commitment to reaching net zero by 2045, while supporting tenants with affordable heating.
