The Low Carbon Buildings Programme, part of the UK Environmental Transformation Fund (ETF) jointly funded by BERR/Defra and managed for BERR by the Energy Saving Trust, aims to give householders and communities a chance to realise the benefits of renewable energy by providing grants and access to sources of advice. Householders can obtain grants from £400 to £2,500. Grants are given for the following renewable energy installations: solar thermal, wind turbines, micro/small scale hydro turbines, ground source heat pumps, room heaters/stoves with automated wood pellet feed and wood fuelled boiler systems.
