Past programs that show the shape of this funding space. Most run again — watch the funder page or our digest for the next window.

• 1.Know your energy segment: generation, storage, efficiency, access, or green manufacturing. Programmes are segment-specific and applying cross-segment wastes a cycle.
• 2.Prepare a measurable impact story: kWh, tonnes CO₂, cost per unit, households reached. Clean energy funders approve projects on numbers, not narratives.
• 3.Check whether the programme is a grant, an accelerator with a grant component, or CSR capital routed through an incubator — the application route differs.
• 4.Rolling programmes still review in batches. Apply early in the cycle for the best odds.
