What is the Sport Wales Energy Grant?
The Sport Wales Energy Saving Grant helps not-for-profit sports clubs and community organisations reduce energy costs and improve sustainability.
Clubs across Wales can apply for funding of up to £25,000 to invest in energy-saving improvements such as solar panels, battery storage, LED lighting and insulation.
Since launching, the scheme has already helped hundreds of clubs reduce their running costs and become more energy efficient.

The grant can help cover the cost of:
✅ Solar panels
