The Energy Saving Trust Energy Redress Fuel Voucher Fund is now open to applications from Registered Charities and Housing Associations with exempted charity status.
The fund is available to support vulnerable households with pre-payment meters that have been affected by the recent energy price rises and are at risk of self-disconnection.
Amount available: £5 million
Grant size: Minimum grant amount £1 million – Maximum grant amount £5 million.
Funding can be used to purchase fuel vouchers from a recognised voucher provider and distribute those vouchers to eligible clients. Reasonable costs for management, administration and fraud protection can be included. Applicants must have existing routes to reach vulnerable households in need of support. Projects will run for a maximum of 15 months.
Further details are available in the scheme guidance, summary document and recorded webinar.
