As an electricity network operator, we play a key role in enabling the country’s transition to Net Zero. We want that to be a fair transition and we are committed to taking our communities on that journey with us. That is why we developed our community funds dedicated to supporting our communities and their low carbon ambitions.
Our Transmission Net Zero Fund and Green Economy Fund have been designed to accelerate decarbonisation and empower our communities to realise their Net Zero ambitions. By funding innovative community-led projects, we are enabling communities to adopt greener energy solutions – from electrifying transport and installing low-carbon technology to creating warmer and more energy efficient community spaces. These projects are not only reducing greenhouse gas emissions and combating climate change, but they also lead to economic benefits like energy cost savings and job creation, alongside social benefits like improved health and wellbeing.
We will shape our future Community Benefit Funding plans by the lessons we learned from these funds alongside stakeholder feedback we have received to develop funds that are fit for purpose and aligned to community needs and aspirations.
