Communities and Renewable Energy Schemes (CARES)


What is Funded:

CARES is all about helping local ownership of additional renewable energy projects. Community Energy Scotland employs local project officers around Scotland to help you with the process of applying for funds and developing your ideas.

There are a number of strands to CARES - all designed to help community or local business developers to work up their plans to a stage where they can install additional renewable energy generation on their site and maximise the benefits for local people.

Funding Levels:

CARES loans are available up to £150,000 (up to 95% of agreed costs) (10% per annum interest) to cover the planning stage (at risk) of renewable energy projects.
