The Transmission Net Zero Fund from SP Energy Networks aims to help vulnerable communities develop their net zero plans to ensure that no one is left behind on the Scotland’s journey to Net Zero.
The Fund will operate in three phases:
- Knowledge sharing: Tailored community workshops will be open to eligible community organisations – these sessions will be tailored to the needs and plans of a specific community. Open from now until 5pm on 30th September 2022.
- Developing community plans: The fund will support feasibility studies for eligible proposals to gather data, develop project plans and assess viability. Application forms and guidance for this stage of the fund will be available in January 2023.
- Supporting community projects: Eligible organisations with projects that meet Net Zero Fund criteria will be able to apply for funding support. Application forms and guidance for this stage of the fund will be available in January 2023.
Phase 1 is currently open for expressions of interest to receive a tailored net zero workshop. The workshops are interactive and designed based on the goals of each applicant. They are suitable for all levels of net zero understanding and will be delivered by Energy Saving Trust staff.
Who can apply?
The fund is available to organisations based in or delivering services in certain community council areas as highlighted on the map available on the SP Energy Networks webpage.
