Funding and resources

The government’s Boiler Upgrade Scheme provides up to £5,000 towards a new air source heat pump or biomass boiler, or £6,000 towards a new ground source heat pump. This scheme is designed to encourage the switch away from older, less efficient gas or oil boilers to heat buildings across the UK, by making renewable heat options more affordable. The Green Deal also helps you to find and pay for energy-saving improvements to your home.

West of England Combined Authority is currently offering its Innovative Local Energy Scheme, designed to support renewable energy projects in communities across the region.
