The fund, which has been accepting applications for small grants since the scheme launched last month, is now inviting organisations with a wider regional reach working with Smart Energy GB’s priority groups to apply for a large grant. These organisations should be not-for-profit, eg, charities, clubs, social enterprises, residents associations, and parish councils.
The funding is intended to support the costs of activities that deliver results against one or more of the following outcomes:
- Raising awareness of smart meters and understanding
their key benefits.
- Increasing interest in getting a smart meter installed.
- Motivating people to use their smart meter.
- Educating people on how to get the most benefit from
using their smart meter.
- District heating customers (district heating is a
system where a communal source of heat is shared with other properties).
- Lack of proficiency in English (or Welsh in Wales).
- Lacking basic digital skills.
- Learning disability.
- Low literacy.
- Memory impairment.
- No personal internet access.
- Off-gas grid customers.
- Prepay customers.
- Private tenants.
- Severe or profound deafness.
- Social housing tenants.
This year's grant must be used by 31 December 2016.
Large Grant Expressions of Interest will be accepted until 10 July 2016.
