Energy for Tomorrow offers grants of up to £100k for South West projects
Berkshire-based energy company Centrica is inviting social enterprises, organisations, charities and non-profits across the South West to apply for grants of up to £100,000 through its Energy for Tomorrow (EfT) social impact fund.
Recipients can receive funding and support for innovative energy projects to drive a “greener, fairer future for the South West” – whether that’s installing EV charging points or developing a pioneering energy tool.
Energy for Tomorrow was launched in 2007 to support the UK’s transition to net zero, encouraging the development of initiatives within local communities that deliver affordable, accessible and sustainable energy solutions.
Applicants have until 18 October to submit their entries, with up to six organisations being awarded funding.
The social impact fund derives revenue from the feed-in tariffs linked to solar panels installed by British Gas on 268 schools across the UK, saving them over £8 million and 14,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions to date.
So far, Energy for Tomorrow has awarded over £5 million in funding to more than 35 projects across Scotland, Wales, the Midlands, North West, North East, Yorkshire and London.
Programme manager Sarah Wright said: “We’re excited to launch applications in the South West and empower communities and organizations to innovate, transform, and thrive.”
