The Megawatt Community Energy Fund

Please note that this funding is not available in Bath and North East Somerset.

This is an annual grant scheme that offers grants of up to £4,000  to community groups and organisations in Bristol, North Somerset, Sedgemoor and South Gloucestershire for projects that:

  • Raise awareness of climate change, its solutions and how to reduce its impact (mitigation).  This includes public outreach through talks, workshops, campaigns, and social, arts or sports activity or
  • Reduce fossil fuel consumption of individuals, organisations and communities through energy measures, or through the more efficient use of resources.  This could include transport projects (eg encouraging cycling and public transport use), local food growing projects (which reduce our use of food transported long distances), horticultural projects (eg planting trees and plants which absorb carbon), community sharing and networking (eg lift sharing, projects to spread good ideas), IT (eg harnessing social media) and health projects (eg healthy eating and exercise), or
  • Reduce fuel poverty to ensure everyone can access and afford the energy they need.  This could include helping people on low incomes to reduce their energy bills, switch energy provider, and access grants to improve the energy efficiency of their home.

The next deadline for applications is 11am on Thursday 28 May 2026.   Further information and details about how to apply is on the Quartet Community Foundation website.
