Devon County Council launches new Community Energy Fund

Devon County Council’s new Community Energy Fund has been set up to support the recovery of Devon’s economy post-pandemic.

The key objective of this fund is to support, develop and fund a small number of high-quality Community Energy initiatives that will help to advance and strengthen the Community Energy sector in Devon.

Grants up to £25,000 are available for voluntary, community and public-sector organisations across Devon for:

• skills and training to increase capacity in the community energy sector
• preparatory work for applications to larger strategic funds that have a community energy focus, for example, the Rural Community Energy Fund
• Community Retrofit Accredited Training and other accredited training to benefit the community energy sector
• set-up costs for two new Community Energy Companies in Devon

You can find out more and apply here by Monday 8 November 2021.
