North East and Moray Just Transition Fund
The Just Transition Fund for the North East and Moray is a 10-year programme of support to accelerate the transition to net zero in the region. We are pleased to confirm that we will be launching a new open bidding round worth up to £8.5 million in to the Fund for the 25/26 financial year.
This additional capital will build on the £75 million we have allocated through the Fund since 2022, creating jobs, supporting innovation and helping to secure the highly skilled workforce of the future. More information about the first round of projects supported through the Fund can be found here.
2025/2026 Funding Call
The funding call will open on the Just Transition Fund page on the Scottish Government website on 6 May for six weeks closing on 17 June. Applicants will be asked to submit an application form in support of their bid and accompanying guidance will be provided on the website. We are inviting bids carrying a minimum value of £500,000 and a max value of £5 million for projects to be completed by 31st March 2026.
For this second open bidding round into the Fund, we will focus on projects that support jobs, skills and economic opportunities, addressing immediate priorities facing the region. This reflects our mission to ensure the Fund is responsive to identified needs and continues to maximise the impact of our investment to deliver benefits for businesses, workers and communities as we transition to a net zero future.
