community energy fund (cef)

23rd of November, 2023

North West Net Zero Hub is administering our regional share of the national Community Energy Fund (CEF) a national £10Million grant programme for community groups and eligable third sector organisations to develop projects from feasibility to commercialisation. 

The funding will support eligible community groups to consider options, design schemes and overcome barriers to investment. It should be noted that it will not provide a grant for capital investment in the projects themselves.

Download an introduction to the CEF which explains the types of projects and organisations that are eligible: CEF-NW-Summary. For a video talking through the summary CEF-NW-IntroVideo

Register your interest before 5th January to participate in our first round of applications.

Please email NWNZHub@liverpoolcityregion-ca.gov.uk.

Organisations that submit an expression of interest that responds to the CEF eligibility criteria will be invited to submit a full application.
