Building on the £75 million allocated to date, we have £8.5 million in new capital funding available through our Just Transition Fund for the financial year 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. This will be open for competitive bids.
We are inviting bids carrying a minimum value of £500,000 and a max value of £5 million. This bidding round will focus on projects that deliver against our Just Transition Outcome on Jobs, Skills and Economic Opportunities, responding to identified needs in the region. This will ensure the fund is responsive to identified regional needs. It will also ensure fund investment maximises impacts delivering benefits for businesses, workers and communities as we transition to a net zero future.
We will work with partners to ensure delivery of innovative, cross cutting projects which will help inform the roll out of just transition across the region.
This guidance provides information to support applicants to the fund to complete the application form required.
