Energy Project Enabling Fund

The third round of our Energy Project Enabling Fund (EPEF) is now open for applications!

Through round 3 of this programme, capital grants of between £30,000 and £245,000 are available to Community Energy Groups, Public Sector Organisations, charities, and other eligible organisations wanting to deliver local energy projects.

This funding has been provided by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero as part of their commitment to the Local Net Zero Hubs and has been allocated by the NEY Net Zero Hub to facilitate the development and delivery of local energy projects in the North East and Yorkshire region.

All successful projects must be completed, and funding drawn down, by the end of September 2025.

Successful projects will be expected to include match funding of a minimum of 50% of the overall project value, with at least 20% of this coming from commercial investment, and applicants will be required to provide a statement of UK Subsidy Control compliance from a reputable source to support their application.

Successful applicants will receive grant funding in arrears against evidence of spend so you must be confident they your organisation can manage these payment terms if your application is successful.
