Renewable heat funding scheme opens for community bids

Communities can from today bid for a share of £8 million in funding to support renewable heat schemes.

Community groups must submit their bids to the department of energy and climate change by 7 September. The money is for installation of equipment such as solar thermal panels, biomass boilers and heat pumps into homes in their local area.

Decc said it expects to support up to 100 schemes with winners announced in December. Communities can apply here.

Winners of last year’s Renewable Heat Premium Payment competition were also announced today. See the list of winners here.
