It could pay for projects such as solar panel networks, electric vehicle charging points and car clubs
Organisations in Lancashire are being encouraged to apply for a slice of a regional £2million fund to develop ‘clean energy’ projects. The Community Energy Fund can help groups get projects such as solar panel networks, wind farms and hydropower, rural heat networks, electric vehicle charging points and car clubs off the ground.
It’s being rolled out locally by the North West Net Zero Hub, one of five regional hubs nationwide, in conjunction with Lancashire County Council and funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero as part of a national £10million programme.Examples of successful bids so far include Rossendale Valley Energy, a scheme which aims to create affordable, low carbon energy and healthy warm homes, at no upfront cost to residents by creating cheaper energy for the community.
