July 2008

Gloucestershire County Council and the six Gloucestershire District Councils are committed to tackling climate change, and have developed Climate Change Strategies. Gloucestershire has entered into a Local Area Agreement with targets to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through domestic energy saving and an increase in the uptake of renewable energy installations.

The Gloucestershire Renewable Energy Grant scheme and advice service is an integral part of this Local Area Agreement. Gloucestershire County Council and District Councils have together contributed £110,000 for domestic renewable energy grants in the financial year to 31st March 2009. This will fund 110 domestic renewable energy installation grants at £1,000 each, allocated on a first come first served basis, with a minimum of 10 installations ring-fenced for each District.

Note - Stroud District Council is managing their own grant scheme, through an extension of the WISE Homes grants.
