Northern Powergrid Foundation provides grants of between £1,000 and £20,000 for local communities in North East England, Yorkshire, and north Lincolnshire.
This round focuses on community energy resilience, such as installing solar panels and battery storage at community hubs, ensuring vital services can continue during planned or unplanned power outages or emergency events.
The funding can support the creation or expansion of community hubs, including community halls and parish halls, helping them play a vital role in keeping people safe and warm now and into the future.
A range of organisations can apply including but not limited to parish councils, village halls, community hubs and community centres, community associations, community trusts, community partnerships, etc.
There are normally two funding rounds per year.
The second round is now open with a deadline for applications of 13 October 2025.
