25.1.10 - We are no longer able to offer grants to install RE systems. January 2010 was our last grants round. If you are interested in grants for RE systems for your community building please do sign up or contact us for advice, as we may be able to help you access other sources of funding. We are still able to offer independent mentor support on choosing RE systems.
If you have already recieved a grant from RE4D and have not yet claimed please downloand both of the following forms:
Both forms need to be returned to Melanie Sealey, RE4D, Lucombe House, County Hall, Topsham Road, Exeter, EX2 4QW.
You must have basic energy efficiency measures in place before installing RE, your RE4D mentor will be able to offer basic advice but for more detailed queries and info on grants please contact CAfE.
