Last year we submitted a bid for more funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) to extend our Low Carbon Dorset programme. We’ve now found out that we’ve been successful in securing an additional £5m!
Thanks to these extra funds from ERDF the Low Carbon Dorset programme will be extended for a further two years. Businesses, community groups and public-sector organisations will be able to continue to access free technical advice and grant funding for energy efficiency and renewable energy projects until Dec 2022.
Since our launch in April 2019, Low Carbon Dorset has given out 91 grants worth over £2m. And provided free advice to over 100 Dorset based organisations. This support has helped save just under 4,000 tonnes of CO2 a year.
Over the next two years we hope to reduce emissions by a further 5k tonnes of CO2 and help fund the installation of another 5MW of renewable energy in Dorset.
Hello, Is it possible to speak to someone regarding a possible grant application? Many thanks Toby
Hi Toby, we ask all organisations interested in applying for support from Low Carbon Dorset to first complete an online expression of interest form. This is a simple form that allows us to capture some information on your project and organisation so we can check your eligibility and assess how we can help you. You can find this form on the ‘apply’ page of our website: http://www.lowcarbondorset.org.uk/apply. A member of the team will then be in touch.
Thanks, Katie
