Local Energy Scotland

We manage CARES - the Scottish Government's Community and Renewable Energy Scheme. We give communities, businesses and other organisations advice and funding in all aspects of local, renewable energy.

CARES gives communities, businesses and other organisations free, expert and impartial advice and support – including tailored funding packages – to get renewable energy projects up and running. 

Local development officers are based across Scotland and are on hand to help you develop your local renewable energy project from start to finish – from initial planning through development and funding applications, right up to and beyond the launch.
