<p>On 10 June we launched the Smart Export Guarantee, which will ensure that small-scale
low-carbon generators are paid for the power they export to the grid. The SEG provides
space for innovative market solutions to come forward, and supports the uptake of
flexible technologies such as batteries - reinforcing our smart energy agenda.</p><p>
</p><p>BEIS also supports communities through the Rural Community Energy Fund. This
re-opened at the end of May to support communities seeking to develop a wide range
of low carbon activities. The £10m fund provides grants to communities for feasibility
studies to scope out ideas, and where projects are viable, another grant to help develop
the project to investment readiness.</p><p> </p><p>Eligible community projects will
be able to benefit from the SEG, however we recognise that it may be more suitable
for some projects than others. We are continuing to consider what measures we could
take to support the efforts of communities that wish to invest in low-carbon community
energy.</p>
