Southwark community energy fund
Contents
Overview
This fund gives grants to local schools, faith groups and community groups for green energy projects. These projects will reduce carbon emissions or save energy.
This could be through building upgrades or green technology like solar panels or heat pumps. It could also be for workshops or training to help tackle fuel poverty.
A part of the fund is available to support community energy groups. This is to help create new groups or expand existing ones.
The next application window for the fund will open on 10 February 2025 and close on at 11.59pm on 6 April 2025.
What is community energy?
Community energy refers to projects that are run by local groups to help make green energy or to save energy. These can be renewable energy projects like solar panels. Or it could be ways to use less energy through building upgrades or workshops. They can be completely owned by the community or shared with partners.
