Our Powering Communities to Net Zero fund’s core aim is to help communities in our licence areas in central southern England and the north of Scotland become more resilient, and to support the adoption of low-carbon technologies that will help us all get to net zero.

The fund has a value of £3m and will run annually from now, concluding in Spring 2028. ​

Half the fund will be made available to enable communities to apply for grants that will bolster community-led physical and environmental resilience measures.

The other half will be made available for non-profit organisations to apply for grants to go towards the purchase of new Low-Carbon Technologies.
