New funding is now available to support organisations across Wales to develop Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES), helping ensure the benefits of energy generation are retained and felt in local communities.
The £10 million Ynni Cymru capital grants scheme forms a key part of Wales’ ambitious goal to generate 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2035.
It provides financial support to community energy organisations, social enterprises, public sector bodies, and SMEs developing innovative local energy projects.
The grant scheme builds on the work of Ynni Cymru, established by the Welsh Government in 2023, to promote community ownership of renewable energy and drive Wales’ transition to a low-carbon economy.
