Funding for Locally Owned Renewable Energy Projects in Scotland
15/11/2021
Enablement grants are available for communities, public sector organisations and rural businesses to make long-term environmental changes and take part in the post-COVID green recovery in Scotland.
Local Energy Scotland is offering grants of up to £25,000 to advance local energy projects across the nation. The fund aims to enable early-stage project activities, without which a renewable energy installation could not proceed, and support the development of locally owned or shared ownership renewable energy systems. This is part of the Scottish Government's wider Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) to support local communities with energy project development, mobilisation, and delivery.
