British Gas has made £2m available as part of the Green Streets programme, to invest in innovative energy projects in Great Britain's communities.

Green Streets is focusing on the 14 communities around the UK that made it through to go head-to-head for the title 'Britain's most innovative green community'.

The 14 projects that have been chosen to take part in the Green Streets challenge will now compete to see who can do the most to save energy, generate energy and engage people locally.

The community that comes out on top will then receive up to a £100,000 prize to spend on a local environmental project of their choice. British Gas has committed £2 million worth of micro-generation and energy efficiency measures as part of the Green Streets programme.
