Grants of more than £10,000 are available via the SP Energy Networks’ Transmission Net Zero Fund, which supports vulnerable communities across central and southern Scotland on their journey to net zero.

The fund provides guidance and support to enable local communities to achieve their green ambitions, with grants open to constituted community groups, third sector and voluntary organisations, and social enterprises, for a range of capital projects to deliver social, economic and environmental benefits.

Priorities include:

enabling a Just Transition to Net Zero by supporting vulnerable communities and delivering social, economic and environmental benefits
focusing on net zero measures which save carbon and provide cost reductions
building on net zero capacity
leaving a positive Net Zero legacy in these communities

Those interested in applying must submit an Expression of Interest form; these will be available until 5pm on Friday 7^th July.
