Until February 2010 the Low Carbon Buildings Programme, managed by the Energy Saving Trust, offered wind power grants towards the cost of installing wind turbines for homes and businesses in the UK. These
have since been withdrawn due to the introduction of feed-in tariffs from April 2010. The Energy Saving Scotland Home Renewables Grant Scheme also no longer offers grants for wind power installations. Community projects in Scotland can contact the Communities and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) Communities and Renewable Energy Scheme (CARES) for information on grants available to them.
Wind power grants may also be available in your local area so take a look at www.est.org.uk for information on schemes which may be applicable in your location. Some energy supply companies also offerwind power grants as does the www.triodos.co.uk
RenewableUK may also have information on wind power grants available so take a look at their website at www.bwea.com
