Funding Education
Join the growing number of educational institutions working with Smarta Energy to reduce emissions, cut costs, and create better learning environments through the Renewable Rewards Fund. We understand the pressure schools and colleges face: ageing infrastructure, shrinking budgets, and increasing pressure to meet net-zero targets — all while trying to prioritise the wellbeing of students and staff. That is why we are working with education providers across the UK to make energy-saving solutions accessible, impactful, and affordable.
We have already helped organisations unlock energy savings through interest-free funding, and we’re ready to help your institution do the same.
