 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/
