Funding to support energy consumers in vulnerable situations across Great Britain.

Energy Saving Trust has launched the next phase of its Energy Redress Scheme, offering £22 million across four streams.

The Main Grants and Small Projects streams are open to registered charities in England, Scotland and Wales that are registered with the Energy Redress Scheme and have passed the due diligence process.

Examples of the kind of activities that can be funded through the Energy Redress Scheme include:

• Engaging vulnerable customers with energy issues and referring them for support.
• Delivering energy advice that does not duplicate existing advice services.
• Installation of energy saving or renewable energy measures that cannot be funded elsewhere and/or are innovative or are being used in innovative ways.
• In-home safety advice and measures related to energy systems.
• Training and education on energy that is targeted at supporting vulnerable customers.

Grants are offered as follows:

• Small Project Fund grants of between £20,000 and £49,999.
• Main Project Fund grants of between £50,000 and £2 million.

Grants can be used for capital or revenue funding and can provide up to 100% of the project cost. Projects lasting up to two years can be funded.
