DECC community energy competition.

If your team is based in England, you could get up to £20,000 as part of the Department for Energy and Climate Change’s new community energy competition.

Community groups are being asked to submit innovative energy-saving ideas that will reduce energy bills. Applications close on 10 February 2015 and your project will have to implemented by the end of March 2015. Further details can be found on the Big Energy Race website. Good Luck!


Tell us what you're doing!

We believe that community and helping each other to do better is a really important part of building a sustainable and energy-efficient future for everyone. That’s why your role in recruiting team members is so important. As an existing participant in the Big Energy Race, you are the best advocate to share the message of how easy making changes can be within your community and beyond.

So, how can you show off your amazingly innovative ways of saving energy? How do you get to see what another team is up to on the other side of the country? The answer is just a few clicks away.

Our Big Energy Race Twitter and Facebook pages are great ways to share and find out what teams from all over the country are doing. Both are already seeing huge activity. Why not upload pictures of your team? Sometimes 140 characters just isn’t enough, so we would love you to write a blog entry as well. Don’t forget you get extra points for Tweeting and writing blogs. You might even get featured in our Newsletter or get a visit from the Race team!
