About the Plugged-in Communities Grant Fund
The Energy Saving Trust has just announced their plugged-in communities grant fund (formerly Plugged-in Households) will continue supporting Scottish community transport organisations in 2024/25.
Funding can cover 100% of costs, up to £75,000, to replace a community transport vehicle with a zero-emission alternative, to support community trips and services.
Funding excludes VAT (unless deemed non-reclaimable), and no match funding is required. Grants are available to cover the following zero-emission vehicles:
- Cars
- Light goods vehicles
- Minibuses
- Mopeds/ motorcycles
This funding round follows the popular round 1 and 2 funds, that ran in 2022/23 and 2023/24.
These rounds supported community transport organisations and highlighted the high demand from the sector to help make the switch to zero-emission vehicles.
