Community Renewable Energy Grants

The Naturesave Trust now provides start up 'seed corn' grants for community renewable energy projects, whatever type of renewable power generation you, as a community, are considering.

The costs involved can be onerous and The Naturesave Trust recognises that many lenders and investors may be reluctant to put money into a project at an early stage as it may or may not get past the planning stage.

We may be able to assist, as we are keen to help communities, in particular, that do not have the initial start up capital to undertake all the preliminary work to get you to the planning stage and most importantly for the community to retain as much control as possible over the operating income once the project has been successful.

For further information please contact Emma Birch or Matthew Criddle on 01803 864390 or email us on mail@naturesave.co.uk quoting the reference 'Community Renewable Energy Grants' and one of us will call you back to discuss your needs.
