Installation Grants...
The Low Carbon Buildings Programme (LCBP) programme provides grants for the installation of microgeneration technologies in a range of buildings to include households, community organisations, public, private and the non-profit sectors.
Householders
Householders can apply for grants of up to £2,500 per property towards the cost of installing a certified product by a certified installer. PowerNaturally is a MCS accredited installer. In 2008 we qualified for the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accreditation. You can read more about this accreditation here.
The Low Carbon Buildings Programme householder stream relaunched in May 2007 and will now be committing funds until April 2011. MCS underpins the Low Carbon Buildings Programme, and grants will be available to applicants using both products and installers certified under MCS schemes.
PowerNaturally can help you with your grant application. You need to have decided on your technology, (eg solar or heat pump) selected a certified installer, and have a quote before you apply. You must apply and have a grant offer before commencing installation.
Public Sector
Grants for the installation of microgeneration technologies are available to public sector buildings (including schools, hospitals, housing associations and local authorities) and charitable bodies under the phase 2 programme.
From 1 July 2009
