Scottish and Southern Energy Power Distribution (SSEPD) are offering grants of up to £20,000 to support community resilience projects in their network areas
The fund has been established to support communities to prepare for future emergency weather events and is particularly focussed on projects which help vulnerable or isolated people living in the SSEPD network area.
The fund will support projects that:
- Protect the welfare of vulnerable customers during a significant power outage or emergency weather event.
- Enhance community facilities and services specifically to support the local response in the event of a significant power outage or emergency weather event.
- Improve communication during an emergency situation, to keep communities informed or aid contact between local groups and response services.
