Community Energy Fund
Our Community Energy Fund drew on a credit facility from Big Society Capital, whilst funders and sponsors contributed to it through donations. The fund provided small to medium loans to UK community renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
British Airways Carbon Fund
The British Airways Carbon Fund supports community renewable energy and energy efficiency projects that reduce carbon and also have strong social impacts in the local community.
Bridge Finance
Our Bridge Fund is a £30 million revolving loan facility from BSC to support large scale community energy projects. The facility is managed by Leapfrog Finance and is able to provide equity and construction finance.
