155 Communities Receive £5.1 Million in Final Round of LEAF Funding

A further 155 community energy projects from across the country have received funding from the Local Energy Assessment Fund (LEAF).  According to DECC the winning bids include “projects to demonstrate wall insulation to the public, schemes to check the energy efficiency of homes and events to promote energy efficiency in local communities. ”

The Newly appointed Energy and Climate Change Secretary Edward Davey had this to say about the funding:

“The big national challenges of keeping the lights on and emissions down can be tackled in small ways in our homes and local communities. These grants are designed to nurture the ideas and enthusiasm of communities up and down the country who want to cut energy use, cut emissions and save money. ”
