Scottish rugby clubs to benefit from Net Zero Fund

Over 130 Scottish rugby clubs are set to benefit from £2m of support through the Club & Community Net Zero Fund to help give clubs a lift with energy bills and reduce energy consumption.Clubs will receive free tailored energy efficiency advice and access grants from the fund to help pay for improvements.

Scottish Gas is hosting a series of Net Zero Roadshows at local rugby clubs across Scotland, with events starting in mid-March and running up until the summer .

The roadshows will feature experts who will guide attendees through the Scottish Gas Net Zero portfolio, including the Hive Thermostat, Hive EV charging solutions and heat pumps and more.

Scottish Gas’ specialists will also be on hand to offer insights and advice on how to be more energy efficient, reduce carbon emissions and ultimately, save money.

The initiative forms part of Scottish Gas’ landmark partnership with the Scottish Rugby Union, which began in the summer of 2023.
