Energy Efficiency Grants Wales
What Energy Efficiency Grants Are Available In Wales?
In support of the drive towards net zero the Government in Wales provide a number of different grants to help with the cost of installing domestic insulation and energy efficiency measures.
Click on each one to check eligibility and to find out more about the grant and how to apply.
NOTE: These are official Government supported grants only and hence subject to change. See Government website for latest updates.
ECO - Energy Company Obligation
ECO4 aims to provide free energy efficiency measures for vulnerable households in order to improve the energy efficiency and save on heating their home.
It provides eligible customers living in a home with a low EPC rating with a package of free energy-saving measures and heating improvements.
GBIS - Great British Insulation Scheme
Families in lower council tax bands with less energy-efficient homes will be offered vital upgrades – such as roof, loft or cavity wall insulation.
The scheme will also boost help for those on the lowest incomes and extend support to a wider range of households when compared to other schemes.
BUS - Boiler Upgrade Scheme
BUS is a Government initiative to encourage people in England and Wales to switch from fossil fuels to more environmentally friendly heating systems.
The scheme provides upfront capital grants of £5000 or £6000 to support property owners to install heating systems such as heat pumps and biomass boilers.
NEST Scheme - Wales
The Nest scheme is exclusive to Wales. It offers a range of free, impartial advice and, if you’re eligible, a package of free home energy efficiency improvements such as a new boiler, central heating, insulation, solar panels or a heat pump.
This can lower your energy bills and benefit your health and wellbeing.
Green Homes Wales Scheme
Whilst not a grant scheme, Green Homes Wales is a Government initiative, managed by the Development Bank of Wales, which provides interest free finance to fund energy efficiency home upgrades.
So, if your not eligible for a grant you can still get the work done – energy savings will help pay for the loan too!
