How Can We Help?
Are Government Grants or Incentives Available for Alternate Energy in the UK?
Yes, there are several government grants and incentives available in the UK to help homeowners and businesses switch to alternate (renewable) energy. These schemes are designed to make it more affordable to install technologies like solar PV panels, air source heat pumps, and insulation.
Some of the main options include:
- ECO4 Scheme: The Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) helps eligible households with the cost of installing energy-saving measures such as insulation, heat pumps, and solar panels.
- LA Flex: Through Local Authority Flexible Eligibility (LA Flex), local councils can offer funding for energy efficiency improvements to households that may not qualify for standard schemes.
- Boiler Upgrade Scheme: This scheme provides grants to help cover the cost of installing low carbon heating systems like air source heat pumps.
- Zero VAT on Energy-Saving Products: Certain energy-saving products, including solar panels and heat pumps, benefit from zero-rated VAT, making installations more affordable.
- Other Local Grants: Many local authorities offer their own incentives or top-up grants for renewable energy and insulation measures.
Eligibility and available funding can vary depending on your location, household income, and property type. Our team can help you identify which grants or incentives you may qualify for and guide you through the application process.
