The funding supports projects that help households most at risk from cold homes and high energy bills by distributing payments from energy companies who may have breached Ofgem rules. There are four funding streams open in this round that will enable charities to deliver a range of new and innovative energy related projects designed to tackle fuel poverty and support the transition to net zero.
