The Energy Resilience Community Fund (ERCF) offers grants ranging from $5,000 to $50,000 to support community groups, not-for-profits, local councils, and small businesses in enhancing energy resilience.
The program focuses on empowering communities with tools and knowledge to manage energy use effectively and prepare for electricity outages or reliability issues.
Funding can be used for initiatives like educational campaigns on energy efficiency, resources to help communities navigate outages, programs on maintaining equipment like generators, and hiring specialists to deliver energy resilience training.
These grants aim to strengthen local preparedness and ensure communities can respond effectively to energy challenges.
