Northern Powergrid Foundation Community Grants

Grants of up to £20,000 to help community organisations strengthen their energy resilience.

Projects can include energy generation and backup solutions and may also include small energy efficiency improvements, as long as these support a wider community resilience plan.

For this round, they’re especially keen to support projects that help communities stay open, providing a safe and supported space to the wider community during emergencies such as storms or long-duration power cuts.
