Energy Saving Trust has been appointed by Ofgem to distribute payments from companies who may have breached rules.
Registered charities, community interest companies, co-operative societies and community benefit societies can apply for funds to deliver energy related projects that meet the scheme priorities and benefit people in England, Scotland and Wales.
Energy Saving Trust will be administering the scheme until 2026.
Organisations wishing to access the Energy Redress Scheme must complete a simple online information form so that Energy Saving Trust can check whether they are eligible to apply. Organisations that meet the initial criteria will be notified and will be emailed a link to create an account, through which they can apply for all subsequent rounds.
What size grants are available?
The amount of funding available through the scheme varies throughout the year and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis in January, April, July and October.
The minimum grant amount that can be requested is set at £20,000. This is to ensure the fund supports high quality projects that have the ability to make a real difference.
