Local authority and RSL funding database
Our funding database contains details of a wide range of funds available to local authorities and housing associations. This searchable database contains details of around 100 funds for energy efficiency improvements, the installation of renewable energy and other initiatives to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide.

The funding database is updated regularly to ensure that contact details, application procedures, grant limits and deadlines are up to date. However, you should always contact the funding source directly prior to making an application. |

Funding for businesses and local authority own estate
Please note that the Energy Saving Trust’s primary remit is to reduce CO2 emissions in the domestic sector and therefore, our funding information mainly focuses on funding for improving the energy efficiency of housing. The Carbon Trust should be able to help you with further information on funding for projects with businesses and in the local authority own estate.
