co-operatives are one of the business models that we support. For example, they are
eligible for the Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) which re-opened at the end of
May. The RCEF is a £10m programme which supports rural communities who are looking
to develop renewable energy projects. Grants are available for feasibility studies
to test out ideas, and if viable, grants are also available to assist with pre-development
of projects.</p>
