How we contribute
We contribute funds to renewable energy projects according to our General Funding Strategy (PDF 1MB) and Investment Plan (PDF 2MB).
We use the principles in the General Funding Strategy to identify investment priorities, which are outlined in the Investment Plan.
All funding proposals are assessed for best fit with the investment priorities.

Renewable energy technologies
Renewable energy is produced using natural resources that are constantly replaced and never run out.
Just as there are many natural sources of energy, there are many renewable energy technologies. Solar is one of the most well known, wind power is one of the most widespread, and hydropower is one of the oldest. Other renewable technologies harness geothermal energy, bioenergy or ocean energy to produce heat or electricity.
