£10 million will fund best low-carbon community initiatives
No sign yet (thankfully!) that the Government’s Low Carbon Investment Fund is at risk of ‘savage cuts’.
On Monday, the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) launched its new Low Carbon Communities Challenge, which consists basically of a £10 million pot that communities can apply to for funding for their own low-carbon initiatives – which might be a housing retrofit scheme, a biomass plant, or even electric vehicle charging points.
Up to 20 communities will be selected as the lucky winners.
It’s a good scheme, underpinned by a ‘specialist support squad’ made up of partners with expertise from inside and outside government – including The Energy Savings Trust, The Carbon Trust, WRAP, and the Third Sector.
So let’s hope DECC is overwhelmed by applications!
