Energy Redress Scheme

Grants of up to £2million are available to charities in Great Britain for supporting energy consumers in vulnerable situations and for developing innovative products and services related to energy.

The priority of the scheme is to:

  • support energy consumers in vulnerable situations
  • deliver benefits to the types of consumers that were negatively impacted by the specific issues that triggered the redress payment.

In addition to this core priority, up to 15% of Energy Redress funds can support the development of innovative products and services related to energy. Innovation projects must:

  • Have a realistic prospect of delivering benefits to existing and/or future energy consumers.
  • Help to reduce the environmental impact of energy use and be efficiently managed and provide good value for money.

Registered charities that are registered with the Energy Redress Scheme and have passed the due diligence process can apply to the open funding rounds. Other organisations can be involved in delivering the project, but the projects must be led by a charity who must submit the application and be responsible for the funding and project delivery.

Focus of fund/fund aims:

Ofgem collects voluntary payments from companies that may have breached Ofgem administered rules and the Energy Redress Scheme distributes these funds to projects that support customers at risk from high energy bills and help reduce carbon emissions.
