Notice Title
Community and Renewable Energy Scheme
Notice Description
Communities are at the heart of our renewable energy ambitions and community energy has the potential to play a pivotal role in a just energy transition. We are committed to working with partners to continue to grow the community energy sector and ensure the delivery of renewable energy comes with benefits for people in Scotland, as well as supporting progress towards net zero. CARES provides advice and funding to communities across Scotland looking to develop renewable energy, heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency projects. The scheme will continue to support a wide range of projects including heat decarbonisation, community owned energy generation, community shared ownership and helping local communities to invest in commercial renewable energy projects.
