Details

The Powering Communities to Net Zero fund's core aim is to help communities become more resilient, and to support the adoption of low-carbon technologies that will help us all get to net zero.

The fund is designed to support low-carbon technology (LCT) projects which are part of a community’s decarbonisation plans. Examples include: solar panels; heat systems; battery storage; renewable energy generation; smart heating ontrols; energy efficiency measures; EV charging; building management systems.

All awardees must be able to meet grant conditions and draw down funds before 31 March 2027. Grants should then be spent within 12 months of being paid.
