Power Green Energy Trust
The Green
Energy Trust was established in 1998 and supports the development
of new renewable energy sources in the UK. It is funded entirely

community based environmental and educational renewable energy
projects. The Trust considers all kinds of renewable technologies,
including small-scale hydro, wind power, biomass, landfill
gas, solar energy and ground source heat pumps. Applications
involving other technologies may also qualify for support.
Grant requests must be to support the capital and installation
costs of a renewable energy project.

maximum of £25,000.
