Energy Saving Trust's Carbon Emissions Reduction and Innovation Funds Now Open
The Energy Saving Trust is offering grants of between £20,000 and £1 million to not-for-profit groups in Great Britain for projects that empower householders to reduce their carbon emissions and engage positively with the transition to net zero and for the development of innovative products and services related to energy.
The Carbon Emissions Reduction Fund (CERF) supports initiatives principally aimed at reducing the climate change impact associated with energy use, which relate to Ofgem's regulated areas of energy generation, distribution, supply and use.
The Innovation Fund is aimed at projects that will develop innovative products or services to benefit households.
Projects funded through both schemes can benefit all domestic energy consumers, not just households in vulnerable situations.
In this round, £6 million is available through each fund.
Registered charities, Community Interest Companies (CICs), Community Benefit Societies and Cooperative Societies in England, Scotland and Wales that are registered with the Energy Redress Scheme and have passed the due diligence process may apply now.
Organisations that have not yet registered with the scheme must do so 10 working days before the relevant fund closes to allow time for eligibility checks to take place.
The deadline for Round 10 applications is 15 January 2025
