New Grants For Community Energy Schemes

31st March 2011

Please could you help us let people in your area know about the energyshare grant fund which has just launched with up to £500,000 for community renewable energy projects? We're calling for communities across the UK to register their interest. To apply see www.energyshare.com/fund/about-applying/

energyshare is a 100% renewable energy community giving everyone in the UK the opportunity to get involved in sourcing, using, and generating your own renewable energy.

This is just the beginning. energyshare's founding partners, River Cottage and British Gas are committed to finding more funding. As a start British Gas are committed to distributing a further £3m to community renewable projects through the energyshare fund over the next 3 years. By getting involved in energyshare you can help decide which projects get funded.

We've got lots of other features on the site for households and communities, including case studies on the site of really successful community projects like Woolsery Community Hall www.energyshare.com/woolsery-hall who have cut their running costs by 90%, and MOZES where each household is saving an estimated 20% / year on their energy bills!

Please forward this on to anyone you think might be interested. We hope to see you on www.energyshare.com soon!
