The The Department for Business, Enterprise & Regulatory Reform's Low carbon buildings programme provides grants for microgeneration technologies for householders, community organisations, schools, the public sector and businesses. Phase 1 of the programme is managed by the Energy Saving Trust and Phase 2 of the programme is managed by BRE.
Launched on 1 April 2006, the programme will run over three years and replaces the Clear Skies and Solar PV programmes, which closed for applications on the 31 March 2006. The programme is UK-wide (apart from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man) and will demonstrate how energy efficiency and microgeneration will work hand in hand to create low carbon buildings.
There will be two streams of grants available:
- Stream 1 - these grants apply to smaller projects for home owners.
- Stream 2 - these grants apply to medium and large scale microgeneration projects and are available to public, not for profit and commercial organisations.
