Through the Green Fund we’ve awarded over £3.7 million to over 221 community projects across the UK since 2001.
Customers on our Green Tariff pay a small premium on their electricity bills. We match their contributions and use this to help support renewable energy projects across the UK.
The money raised through our Green Tariff is placed in the Green Fund and used to award grants to community, non-profit, charitable and educational organisations across the UK.
The Green Fund awards grants to organisations who apply for funds to help cover the cost of renewable energy technology that can be used to produce green energy from the sun, wind, water, wood and other renewable sources.
