The Low Carbon Buildings Programme Phase 2 is expected to come to an end this summer, so public sector and not-for-profit organisations need to be planning now how to benefit from these microgeneration grants while they’re still available.

The grants, of up to 50%, are available to the public sector for the installation of microgeneration technologies, to help schools, housing associations, local authorities, charities and other not-for-profit organisations to ‘go green’ and reduce their carbon footprint. For ground source heat pumps, the grants can contribute to capital costs, ground works and the commissioning of the system. But the scheme is only running for a fixed period and Dimplex is advising anyone interested in the scheme to get their application in by June.
Dimplex is one of just three approved ground source heat pump framework suppliers appointed by BERR and since the beginning of the LCBP’s public sector stream, the manufacturer has helped a wide variety of organisations to access the grants. Successful projects include an extension at a primary school in Norfolk, a new build RNLI station on the Wirral, a ‘green energy’ technology trial at housing association properties in East Anglia and a visitor centre at the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park.
In fact, Dimplex has helped more public sector organisations to access these grants than any other supplier, with around three quarters of heat pump applications to date specifying Dimplex equipment.
