Apply for a Household Energy Efficiency Grant

It is expected that by 2030 emissions associated with heating and hot water from a gas boiler will account for 85% of a household’s emissions. Reducing carbon emissions from heating our homes and buildings is the biggest challenge Camden faces in its journey to net zero.

Household carbon emissions can be significantly reduced by improving the building fabric of homes and switching to low carbon heat technologies. The Camden Climate Fund provides funding of up to £5,000 (up to 50% of costs) to support households and landlords install energy efficiency measures to help reduce heating demand, lower bills and cut associated carbon emissions.

Please note, you cannot apply for a Camden Climate Fund grant retrospectively, for works that have already been installed. Read the Camden Climate Fund: Household – Terms and Conditions before applying.

For those on lower incomes who wish to make energy efficiency improvements to their homes such as energy efficient heating or insulation you may be eligible for the Warmer Cheaper Greener programme. Alternatively, contact the Green Camden Helpline to find out about additional support which may be available to you.

Apply for a Business Grant

​​​​​​​Local businesses and institutions account for 66% of Camden’s carbon emissions, therefore it is important they take the lead in reducing their energy consumption.  The Camden Climate Fund supports small to medium business and third sector organisations across the borough cut their carbon emissions and lower fuel bills.

Up to £10,000 is available towards the installation costs of renewable technologies and/or energy efficiency improvements. Such measures include solar panels, lighting and lower carbon heating upgrades. Successful applicants are required to match-fund 50% of costs, plus any additional over the maximum allowance.  

For your business application to be considered, you must be a member of the Camden Climate Change Alliance. Basic membership is free. Please note, you cannot apply for a Camden Climate Fund grant retrospectively, for works that have already been installed. Please read the Terms and Conditions before applying.

Apply for a Community Energy Grant

Community energy is a way in which communities can own, manage and generate renewable energy systems, which brings benefits to the local community. The Camden Climate Fund provides funding of up to £25,000 for community energy groups to install and manage renewable energy systems that generate energy for the benefit of the local community.  Up to 10% of the funding can be used for detailed feasibility costs.

Apply for a Community Climate Action Grant

Achieving a net zero carbon Camden by 2030 will require everyone living and working in Camden to play their part. To help enable communities to kickstart local climate action, the Camden Climate Fund is offering up to £5,000 for projects that can demonstrate carbon savings and community benefit. Examples of projects may include a tree planting scheme or a local communications campaign focused on behavioural change. Camden encourages local communities to be creative in their applications and will consider a breadth of projects providing a carbon saving can be demonstrated.

Applicants are not required to match-fund and the application must be made on behalf of a group of 4 or more residents. If you would like inspiration, please read the Climate Action Plan to learn about existing projects and opportunities for action across the vision areas for a net-zero Camden.
