Get help to reduce your energy bills with a grant of up to £1000 to make your home more energy efficient.

In April 2022, the Government launched the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to support its Levelling Up agenda.

The Exeter Energy Grant is funded through our UKSPF allocation. The grant will support residents wishing to upgrade their homes to improve energy efficiency and to reduce energy bills.

This grant meets the "Community and Places" investment priority by helping residents lower their carbon emissions and energy bills. As a council we are working towards Net Zero by 2030.

The aim of this grant is to improve the warmth and comfort of homes across the city. This will also reduce energy bills, carbon emissions and levels of fuel poverty. Our aim is to improve the least energy efficient homes in Exeter.  

Priorities of the grant scheme

A grant of £1,000 is available for those that own or rent a home in Exeter to make their home more energy efficient. Please note that social housing is not eligible. Works could include:

• Buying new LED Light bulbs
• Window replacements
• Draught proofing
• Radiator reflector panels
• Double glazing
• Loft insulation
• Insulation of hot water tanks and pipes
• Boiler servicing
• Thermostatic radiator valves

Eligibility Criteria

The grant will support homes most in need, particularly those that may not be eligible for the other support government.
