Renewable energy is primarily supported by the Renewables Obligation and, to a lesser extent, through an exemption from the Climate Change Levy. Additional support is provided through Research & Development (R&D) funding and capital grants, worth approximately £500 million between 2002 and 2008.
This section tells you about available funding for specific sources of renewable energy. To find out about the various available capital grant schemes, please visit the Environmental Transformation Fund webpages for information on this joint initiative with Defra which brings forward the development of new low carbon energy and energy efficiency technologies in the UK.
