Grants - energy saving

Powergen's Green Plan Fund

This fund supports community renewable energy generation projects in the community.

The scheme is open to community groups and not-for-profit groups. Joint proposals (for example with local councils) will be eligible, but the community group must take the lead.

Eligible forms of renewable energy include: solar energy (solar water heating, photovoltaics); Onshore wind (small scale wind turbines); Bio-fuels (biomass, landfill gas, sewage gas and energy crop technologies - except where co-fired); Geothermal energy (ground source heat pumps); Fuel cells and Small scale hydro.

Funding of up to £25,000 is available; it is unlikely that projects costing less than £2,500 would be considered.
