The Smart Energy GB in Communities fund is seeking applications from not-for-profit organisations to help engage people and communities across Great Britain with information about how to get and use smart meters.
Grants of up to £5,000 will be available for community organisations, regional groups and local authorities who can reach people on a low income and help overcome the barriers to engaging with and benefiting from the smart meter rollout.
The Grants programme is currently open.
Applications are due in by midday on 3rd September, with projects anticipated to go live no later than the 8th October.
Please get in touch if you have any questions about how to apply or complete an application form via our website.
As well as potential access to grant funding, the Smart Energy GB in Communities programme also offers free training and local support to equip you with the knowledge and skills to most effectively work with people who may face a barrier to engaging and benefiting from the smart meter rollout.
The training includes information about the rollout; myth busting; unlocking the benefits; an interactive demonstration with the in-home display and an overview of the responsibilities placed on suppliers to properly protect and support vulnerable and low-income consumers before, during and after installation.
