Application outcome
You have just been notified that your grant application was provisionally accepted. Congratulations!
A Development Officer will now share any required clarifications or conditions needed to be resolved before your project can begin. This includes requesting your signatory information and confirming the project start date.
Once completed, you will be asked to sign a Grant Offer Letter and provide your banking information.
Throughout your project you will be asked to submit claims, progress updates and data.
Main point of contact
Before your project begins, you will be assigned a Development Officer from the Energy Redress Scheme team. They will be your main point of contact and will provide you with support and guidance during your project.
Project reporting
Funded projects are required to submit quarterly reports on progress, with numerical data and financial information.
Your project will be paid three months in arrears. As part of reporting, you will be asked to provide information about your ‘Staff’, ‘Capital’, and ‘Other’ costs for this period only. However, evidence should be maintained for all costs and provided at audit if your project is selected.
When reporting ‘Other’ or ‘Capital’ costs, evidence will be needed for items over £1,000.
When preparing your application, you should consider how much reporting and administration time will be required for your project and include it within your budget. A junior staff member may complete the forms, but a senior staff member will need to provide sign off.
Reports are requested between the 1st and 10th working day of the reporting month. Claims can be submitted after this point, but if you require a quicker turn around, please note we action claims in the order in which they are received.
Reporting queries
Your Development Officer may have questions about your project costs or progress. They will send these via email, and your quick response enables a timely payment turnaround.
The finance team at Energy Saving Trust (who manage the allocation of Energy Redress Scheme payments) may also have queries about your costs, banking details, or need additional information. In this case, your Development Officer will be in touch as soon as possible to get things resolved.
Project closing
Your project has come to an end. Hopefully, at great success.
You will be asked to submit a final claim and progress report in a similar format to your previous submissions, but with additional space to reflect on the project’s impact and your learning.
Additionally, a signatory from your Grant Offer Letter will sign a Statement of Compliance in our project portal; to confirm you have completed the project, and it will proceed no further.
