East Devon District Council launched its Carbon Action Programme earlier in the year and is now inviting applications to the Carbon Action Fund which forms part of the programme.
Businesses and community organisations in East Devon can apply for a grant to decarbonise their premises or to reuse/reduce waste in their production process. The funding can be used to purchase equipment such as solar PV, air-source heat pumps, insulation, LED lighting etc. You can include multiple pieces of equipment in your application and the grant can also cover installation costs.
You can apply for between £2,000 and £50,000 per individual business or community organisation. Larger grants may be considered if there are significant carbon reductions.
Businesses will need to provide 30% of their total project costs as match funding and community organisations will need to match fund at least 10%.
Focus of fund/fund aims:
Grants to help businesses and community organisations in East Devon to reduce their carbon emissions
Application deadline:
The next deadline is 20 September 2024
