Initiatives to help everyone reduce their carbon footprint
Given the critical need to live more sustainably and reduce our climate impacts globally, cost should not be a barrier to people wanting to do the right thing. So a number of grants and initiatives exist which are mainly UK Government-backed, and are all subject to eligibility criteria, but which will help people make real change and deliver on green ambitions and environmental targets. These include:
- Energy Company Obligation (ECO) – promotes the reduction of carbon emissions and tackles fuel poverty, through gas and electricity suppliers financially assisting eligible households become more energy efficient, such as upgrades, installations and home insulation.
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS) – receive a grant up to £7500 towards the installation cost of a heat pump system (such as an air source or ground source heat pump). Applies to homeowners and small non-domestic properties in England and Wales only, for heat pumps up to 45kW in capacity and runs until April 2028.
- Great British Insulation Scheme – for people who aren’t eligible for the ECO scheme, and targeting those in the least energy efficient properties and lower council tax bands. Can receive up to £1500 on home efficiency spending, such as home insulation, until April 2026.
- Home Upgrade Grant (HUG) – targeting low-income households and rented accommodation, who can receive funding to make their homes warmer and more energy-efficient, including insulation and renewable energy sources.
- Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) – provides payments for those who generate their own electricity through solar PV systems. Users can export excess electricity that isn’t used back to the national grid and receive payment.
- EV chargepoint grant – a 75% contribution towards the cost of an EV charger installation for flat owners and rented accommodation, up to £350.
- Workplace charging scheme – a 75% contribution towards the purchase and installation of EV chargers for a workplace, up to £350 per charger and to a maximum of 40 chargers per workplace.
