Ofgem Energy Redress Scheme Accepting Applications (Great Britain)

Funding to support energy related projects

Since November 2025, community energy groups, including co-operatives, community benefit societies and community interest companies, are able to apply for grants through the Main and Small Funds, alongside registered charities. Funding will support projects that help households most at risk from cold homes and high energy bills.

• The Impact Fund, containing £500,000 – aimed at projects monitoring the impact to households, of energy advice and other interventions. Applicants can apply for grants between £20,000 and £500,000.
• The Small Project Fund, containing £1 million – aimed at projects seeking grants between £20,000 and £49,999 that will support households in vulnerable situations.
• The Innovation Fund, containing £3 million – aimed at projects that will develop innovative products or services to benefit households. Applicants can apply for grants between £20,000 and £1 million.
• The Carbon Emissions Reduction Fund, containing £2 million – aimed at projects that will reduce UK carbon emissions and empower households to reduce their carbon footprint. Applicants can apply for grants between £20,000 and £1 million.
• The Just Transition Fund, containing £1 million – aimed at projects that will develop community renewable energy, which will benefit energy consumers in vulnerable situations. Applicants can apply for grants between £20,000 and £250,000.
