Funding to empower householders to engage positively with the transition to net zero and for the development of innovative products and services related to energy.

Energy Saving Trust has launched the next round of its Carbon Reduction Fund and Innovation Fund to benefit domestic energy consumers in Great Britain.

Applications are accepted from registered charities, Community Interest Companies, 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.

The Carbon Emissions Reduction funding is for projects that:

• Can demonstrate measurable and lasting reductions in the carbon intensity of energy end use and accelerate the transition to net zero carbon dioxide emissions.
• Have a realistic prospect of delivering broadly replicable benefits to existing and/or future energy consumers.

The Innovation funding is for projects that:

• Support development of innovative energy products or services to benefit households.
• Help to reduce the environmental impact of energy use (or have minimal negative impact where the scheme is delivering significant social benefit).
• Are efficiently managed and provide value for money.

Both funds offer grants of £50,000 to £1 million for projects lasting up to two years.

The deadline to apply is 6 October 2022 (5pm).
