South West social enterprises, organisations and charities can apply for grants of up to £100,000 through Centrica's Energy for Tomorrow (EfT) social impact fund.

Applications are open for grant funding and support for innovative energy projects that can drive a greener, fairer future for the South West, whether they need £20,000 to install an EV charging point or £100,000 to fund a transformative energy tool.

Energy for Tomorrow was launched in 2007 to support the UK's transition to net zero, encouraging the development of initiatives within local communities that deliver affordable, accessible and sustainable energy solutions.

Applicants have until October 18 to submit their entries, with up to six organisations being awarded funding. All registered organisations in the South West are eligible to apply.

The social impact fund derives revenue from the feed-in tariffs linked to solar panels installed by British Gas on 268 schools across the UK, saving them over £8 million and 14,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions to date.

So far, Energy for Tomorrow has awarded over £5 million in funding to more than 35 projects across England, Scotland an Wales.

Sarah Wright, Energy for Tomorrow programme manager, said: "We're excited to launch applications in the South West and empower communities and organisations to innovate, transform and thrive."

Interested organisations and individuals should register now on the Centrica website.
