Brampton and Beyond Energy (BABE) has been awarded a £20K government grant to conduct initial studies investigating the potential to generate renewable energy in the Brampton area. BABE is eligible for this grant as a community-led Industrial and Provident Society, a company within the Co-operative movement which can trade for community benefit.

The Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) supports rural communities in England to develop renewable energy projects which deliver economic and social benefits to the community and reduce dependence on fossil fuels. RCEF is delivered by WRAP on behalf of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the Department for Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
