A further £3 million is expected to be invested on energy efficiency measures in houses in Dundee.
Over £25m has already been spent over the past three years, according to Dundee City Council.
The figures were revealed in reports set to go before councillors next week, which detail progress towards the city's drive to provide warm, high quality, affordable, low carbon homes for all.
John Alexander convener of Dundee City Council's neighbourhood services committee said: "With funding coming from the council, Home Energy Efficiency Programme Scotland (HEEPS) and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) from the utility companies we are more than half way towards completing our target before the 2020 deadline.
"This programme has installed insulation at almost 2,000 homes giving their tenants and owner occupiers more fuel efficient, warmer and easier to heat homes and the next phase will bring those benefits to almost 800 more in this financial year."
Cash for the next phase from all three sources will see properties in Wester Clepington, Fairbairn Street, Arklay Street and Wolseley Street provided with external wall insulation.
Turner FM, the contractor for the works have been procured by SSE who are project managing the programme on behalf of the council.
