What funding is available?

£213 million. Over 800 projects. Nearly a million households supported.

The Energy Redress Scheme funds charities and community organisations delivering meaningful change for people living in energy poverty. Managed by Energy Saving Trust on behalf of Ofgem, the scheme redistributes voluntary payments from energy companies — putting that money directly into projects that make a real difference across England, Scotland and Wales.

Grants start at £20,000, can cover up to 100% of project costs, and fund projects of up to two years. Funding availability is reviewed quarterly — register your interest to be notified when the next round opens.
