Funding

Community Energy groups raise money for projects primarily from local and engaged supporters. But there are also outside parties who can help groups raise additional finance. You can find a list of these different organisations our Funders Page

Once a project is established Community Energy Groups may be in a position to support wider environmental initiatives from surplus profits placed in Community Funds. Find examples here

Centre for Sustainable Energy (CSE)’s grants and funding page explains some of the options available to you if you’re trying to set up a local community energy project or initiative, and links to a downloadable funding spreadsheet which is updated every 6 months

More funds and grants are listed on Community Energy England’s funding opportunities page
