Charities and Community Groups Can Access £3m Ofgem Funds

Charities and community groups across England, Scotland and Wales are invited to bid for £3 million in funding from the Ofgem Energy Redress Scheme’s fifth funding round.

The Redress Scheme has opened its fifth funding round, making £3 million available for charities and community organisations to apply.

The aim of the scheme is to provide financial support to these organisations that focus on initiatives providing aid to vulnerable households, fostering innovation and ultimately reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

The Redress scheme has been in place since February 2018 and has already helped fund 470 projects with a total award of £81 million in grants so far.

Applications are open now. All eligible organisations have until 22nd August to apply for the grant.

Further information on how to apply can be found by going to the Energy Redress website.

The latest funding is expected to contribute to various projects that encourages and promotes energy efficiency, provide impartial advice to vulnerable customers, engage communities in energy related issues and conduct research on understanding and accommodating the specific needs of the elderly and disabled through use of advanced energy technologies.
