About the Energy Redress Scheme

About the Scheme

Registered charities, community interest companies, co-operative societies and community benefit societies can apply for funds to deliver energy related projects that meet the scheme priorities and benefit people in England, Scotland and Wales.

Launched in 2018, the Energy Redress Scheme has committed £246 million in grant funding, awarded funding to over 880 projects and directly supported more than 1 million households. Explore our funded projects and case studies.

Where does our funding come from?

Under Ofgem’s redress process, companies who are found to have breached a license condition or were part of an investigation or compliance case, can make voluntary payments alongside or instead of fines and compensation to address any harm caused to consumers.

Energy Saving Trust has been appointed by Ofgem to distribute these funds, through the Energy Redress Scheme.

About the funding

The amount of funding available through the scheme varies depending on what payments have been made by companies and is reviewed on a quarterly basis.

The minimum grant that can be requested is £20,000 and the maximum grant amount varies depending on the size of the fund available. The scheme can fund projects lasting up to two years and can fund up to 100 percent of the project cost and cover revenue and capital measures.
