Welsh energy grants list £8.26m for 24 organisations
Twenty-four organisations across Wales are listed for maximum energy grants totalling £8,262,722.90 in the latest Ynni Cymru award table. The funding is intended to help recipients generate and use clean electricity, reduce bills and support local services. The Welsh Government’s announcements on Monday 19 October describe the round as £8.27 million. Its itemised 2026-27 table totals just over £8.26 million, and Cover’s addition of all 24 entries matches that published total. The table says amounts may change while formal grant letters are agreed.

Who is receiving the funding?
Renewable Power Pembrokeshire has the largest listed award, £997,566, followed by Llanidloes District Energy Local Club at £941,280. Both rankings are calculated from the government’s 24-entry table. Other recipients include Rhondda Cynon Taf council, listed for £695,588, Coleg Cambria at £334,205, and Velindre University NHS Trust at £168,560. The list also includes community halls, charities, cultural organisations and businesses. These are maximum awards, rather than confirmation that the money has already been paid.
What the projects will do
The Merthyr Tydfil Institute for the Blind is listed for £388,840. The government says its project will combine solar panels, battery storage, heat pumps and electric vehicle charging. The organisation employs 52 people; ministers say reducing its energy costs could help protect jobs and services. Skanda Vale in Carmarthenshire has a £251,545 award for batteries and public charging points. Its earlier wind and solar investment is already in place. The latest award is intended to help it use more of that electricity locally.
A different figure for Llanidloes
The Powys announcement quotes £597,210 for Llanidloes District Energy Local Club. That figure appears in the table’s 2025-26 section; the new 2026-27 row lists £941,280. This report uses the current-year row and does not treat the two amounts as the same award. Dulas in Machynlleth is listed for £245,208 in the new round. The government says its project includes more solar panels and heat pumps. Readers checking a local award should use the financial year in the published table, alongside the caveat that final grant letters may change the maximum amount.
