E.ON SUSTAILABLE ENERGY FUND - added 18.12.09
The E.ON Sustainable Energy Fund, which supports community energy projects, has announced new deadlines for 2010. Community groups, charities and not-for-profit organisations that benefit education groups, vulnerable people or people in fuel poverty can apply for grants of up to £20,000, for up to 90% of costs, to implement sustainable energy projects in community buildings. Joint proposals, for example with local authorities, will be considered although the community organisation must lead the application.
To be eligible, projects must:
- result in the creation of renewable energy and/or a reduction in the amount of energy used;
- have a positive impact on the local community;
- have a measurable positive impact on the local environment which will most likely be demonstrated through carbon savings;
- be used for purchase and implementation of capital equipment, physical measures and associated costs;
- involve and/or have consent of the local community;
- be sustainable beyond the support of the Fund; and
- be completed within 12 months of a grant being awarded.
The new deadlines for applications are 2 April and 8 October 2010. More information is available from www.eon-uk.com/
