Information from Energy Saving Trust
Energy Redress Scheme – Energy Saving Trust
Registered Charities, Community Interest Companies, Co-operative Societies and Community Benefit Societies can apply for funds to deliver energy related projects that meet the scheme priorities and benefit communities.
This core priority aims to help people who are most at risk from cold homes and high energy bills. Occasionally there may be additional priorities linked to a funding round e.g., a specific geographical focus or type of energy consumer. Any additional priorities will be made clear to applicants when a funding round opens.
Up to 15% of Energy Redress funds can also be used to support energy-related activities aimed at reducing carbon dioxide emissions from energy use. These projects must focus on energy generation, distribution or energy use.
Projects seeking support through this funding stream must demonstrate
- measurable and lasting reductions in the carbon intensity of energy end use and accelerate the transition to Net Zero CO2
- have a realistic prospect of delivering broadly replicable benefits to existing and/or future energy consumers.
The scheme can only fund projects lasting up to two years, can fund up to 100 per cent of the project cost and can cover revenue and capital measures.
Charities, Community Interest Companies, Co-operative Societies and Community Benefit Societies must first register with the scheme so that we can confirm their status, internal governance processes and financial health. Not all organisations that register with us will be eligible to apply. Successful projects will be selected by an independent panel of experts.
