25.1.10 - We are no longer able to offer grants to install RE systems. January 2010 was our last grants round, if you submitted an application for this round you will have been contacted, but please note that due to the extremely high number of applications the grants panel meeting has been delayed until the end of February.
If you are interested in grants for RE systems for your community building please do sign up or contact us for advice.
You must have basic energy efficiency measures in place before installing RE, your RE4D mentor will be able to offer basic advice but for more detailed queries and info on grants please contact CAfE.
