Project: Energy Resilience Fund Development Grant Scheme

Grant: £100,000

Key Fund will work with a number of social investors to establish the Energy Resilience Fund Development Grant Scheme which will enable social enterprises who own community assets to reduce their energy costs by ‘retro-fitting’ energy saving/generating technologies, whilst at the same time reducing their environmental impact.

This programme will support organisations who face challenges in implementing energy-saving retro-fitting measures due to the high-costs and relatively low financial impact. It will help to protect community assets via grants to help cover the cost of energy audits, technical advice and developing financial models. This will support organisations with the information they need to apply for social investment to cover the capital costs of installation.
