Local Energy Demonstration Projects (LEAD) test new and innovative approaches to providing in-person energy efficiency and clean heating advice to consumers at a local level.
The competition provides up to £20 million in grant funding to 36 projects across England, from August 2023 until March 2025.
The projects focus on providing in-person advice to:
- consumer groups that are most likely to benefit, such as hard-to-reach consumers with no access to the internet
- consumers living in homes that are harder to retrofit, such as traditional and listed buildings, and homes in conservation areas
The competition is funded by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and is being delivered, in partnership, by the 5 Local Net Zero Hubs.
The projects are part of the government’s wider comprehensive and impartial energy advice provision, which includes:
- Find ways to save energy in your home tool (launched July 2022)
- the energy efficiency phoneline (launched March 2023): 0800 098 7950
