Community Energy Fund

Bristol City Leaps £1.5 million fund supports and enables community-led energy projects through a combination of grants and loans. Established with contributions from Ameresco and Vattenfall, this fund fosters the advancement of community energy initiatives in Bristol. Profits arising from the energy projects will be reinvested, fuelling a cycle of support for future initiatives.

The Bristol Energy Network works in partnership with Bristol City Leap to support community building managers with applying to this funding. Find out if you’re eligible below.
