EDF Energy's Green Fund (England, Scotland & Wales)
EDF Energy's Green Fund is now open to applications from community, non-profit, charitable and educational organisations across the UK. The Green Fund is made up with a small premium that EDF Green Tariff customers pay, EDF match these contributions and use it to help support renewable energy projects across England, Scotland and Wales.
The Fund offers grants of up to £30,000 to help cover the cost of renewable energy technology that can be used to produce green energy from the sun, wind, water, wood and other renewable sources.
Projects supported in the past include;
• Ringmer Community College, East Sussex – staff and pupils used funding to install solar panels on the south-facing roof of their school;
• and Care Kent used funding to fit wind turbines, a ground source heat pump and solar panels that meet all its energy needs.
The next deadline for applications is the 28th February 2012.

Application Procedure
How is the Green Fund used?
The Green Fund helps to support renewable energy projects for non-profit organisations across the UK.
How is funding allocated?
The funding rounds close twice a year and applications are assessed under the two-stage judging process. Funds are allocated based on the outcome of this scoring process. Since 2001 the Green Fund has made awards worth over £4.4m in total.
How can I apply for funding?
All applicants for funding must complete the Green Fund Application Form. The form also has further information on the Green Fund including eligibility for applicants, how to apply and the judging process.
The Green Fund Application Form can be downloaded and should ideally be filled in electronically and then emailed to the address found at the end of the application form.
