Summary

Anew round of funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) has been launched to help develop Cumbria’s low carbon economy and renewable energy resources.

£6.36m is being made available to help support the county’s drive to shift towards a low carbon economy across all sectors.

The funding is specifically to support and promote the production and distribution of energy derived from renewable resources, as well as energy efficiency and renewable energy use in enterprises.

In addition, it has been designed to support energy efficiency, smart energy management and renewable energy use in public infrastructure and in the housing sector.
