Apply for Household fund

Demand for energy in our homes is increasing, with technology supporting much of our domestic, social, work and (if you own an electric car) travel needs. Enabling your home to generate its own energy helps meet these demands and previous applicants are now reaping the benefits of installing renewables.

The Camden Climate Fund provides funding of up to £1,500 (up to 50% of costs) to support households and landlords install renewable energy measures to help reduce bills and cut associated carbon emissions. For private landlords, Private Rented Energy Efficiency Regulations introduced in April 2018 make it unlawful to rent out properties below Energy Performance Certificate band E.

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 efficient heating or insulation contact the Green Camden Helpline to find out about additional support which may be available to you. 

Apply for community energy fund

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. 

Please note, you cannot apply for a Camden Climate Fund grant retrospectively, for works that have already been installed. To find out more, download the Terms and Conditions.

The Camden Climate Fund: Household – Terms & Conditions apply for funding administered through the scheme. The application process has been streamlined to align with the information provided to residents through the Solar Together scheme. Please review the terms and conditions before submitting your application.

Funding is subject to eligibility and availability and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Apply for business fund

Local businesses and institutions account for 66% of Camden’s carbon emissions, it is therefore 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.

The business should be a member of the Camden Climate Change Alliance.  Basic membership is free to join.

The Camden Climate Fund provides funding of up to £10,000 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.  

Please note the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is also available for some types of renewable heating such as heat pumps.  However there are rules on grant funding from another source and it is your responsibility to check what potential impact receiving Camden Climate Fund may have on any RHI payments. 

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 business LEN fund

Camden Council will be creating a Low Emission Neighbourhood (LEN) in Camden Town, after being awarded £500,000 from the Mayor of London’s Air Quality Fund. Our goal is to reduce air pollution over the next three years by working with the community and local businesses in the Camden Town area.

Approximately 30% of NOx emissions with the Camden Town LEN area are from the commercial and industrial heat generation and comprise one of the main sources of emissions causing poor air quality on streets of Camden Town.

To help to reduce the levels of these pollutants with the LEN area, the Camden Climate Fund is offering business 50% match funding up to £5,000 for the replacement of old high-emission heating systems with low NOx boilers and up to £10,000 for replacement with heat pumps.

The business should be a member of the Camden Climate Change Alliance. Basic membership is free to join.

Please read the Terms & Conditions before applying and contact Camden Climate Fund if you have any queries.
