Detailed guidance is available here
Step 1 – Register your organisation (register here)
Organisations wishing to access the Energy Redress Scheme must complete a simple online information form so that Energy Saving Trust can check whether they are eligible to apply. Organisations that meet the initial criteria will be notified and will be emailed a link to create an account, through which they can apply for all subsequent rounds. Organisations only need to register once. In order to be considered for the forthcoming funding window, please ensure registration is completed no later than two weeks prior to the application deadline.
Step 2 – Apply for funds
The amount of funding available through the scheme varies throughout the year and will be reviewed on a quarterly basis in January, April, July and October.
When funds become available, eligible organisations will be notified to use their online account to apply for funds. The system allows organisations to create, review, save and submit funding applications in multiple rounds. Organisations should only set up one account, which can have multiple users.
Eligible organisations will be informed if there are any additional priorities applied in each funding round and the maximum grant amount that can be requested.
Each organisation can only lead on one application per round but can be a partner in more than one application.
Please note that redress grants are paid quarterly in arrears, on receipt of monitoring reports.
