Government money for wind and solar projects

You can now apply for a direct cash grant for your renewable energy project, instead of the previous tax credit.

Unfortunately, there is so far no funding available for non-government, non-profit institutions like ours, or you had better believe I would have applied for it.

However, upfront costs such as anemometry have derailed or slowed several of our community wind projects, so this money will no doubt speed up one or two of them.
