CARES - Communities and Renewable Energy Scheme

CARES stands for Communities and Renewable Energy Scheme and is the Scottish Government's rebranding of the previous SCHRI programme.  Community Energy Scotland won the contract to deliver CARES across the whole of Scotland for three years from May 2009.  CARES continues the support available for communities under the previous Scottish Community and Householder Renewables Initiative (SCHRI) and builds on this by increasing the maximum grant levels by 50%. Grants of up to £150K are now available.  Read more on our CARES webpage.
