The investment into the Energy Efficiency Programme for Scotland (HEEPS) will help councils install energy efficiency measures like solid wall, cavity and loft insulation in their communities.
Remote areas such as Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles will receive £5m more than they did in 2013 to ensure households that are off the gas grid can benefit too.
Scotland Housing Minister Margaret Burgess said the investment will be distributed across all of the country’s local authorities and will help households in fuel poor areas stay warm and reduce their energy bills.
"In total, the Scottish Government will spend almost a quarter of a billion pounds over a three year period on fuel poverty and energy efficiency," Burgess said.
Burgess noted that the investment will help further reduce carbon emissions and will also support and sustain the insulation industry in Scotland, generating work and supporting jobs.
"We are actively working with councils and energy companies to ensure that Scotland continues to get its fair share of funding for efficiency programmes like these," Burgess said.
