Community Energy Generation Growth Fund

You can apply for the CARES Community Energy Generation Growth Fund by visiting the CARES project portal log in page. Select ‘Begin a new project’ and ‘Community Energy Generation Growth Fund’.

The Scottish Government’s Community and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) will support community organisations to develop their own renewable energy projects, including wind and solar photovoltaic (PV) projects, through the Community Energy Generation Growth Fund, building on the success of last year’s pilot fund. The Community Energy Generation Growth Fund can help community organisations with grant funding, advice, and loan funding to progress your renewable energy projects. Support can be at the feasibility, development or construction stages of a project.

If you’ve not yet developed a clear project idea, you can review case studies of community energy generation projects together with examples of past projects and potential project models.

For more information and funding guidance please visit the Local Energy Scotland website.
