Completing your project

It is considered a standard completion where all measures in your project will be completed and are commissioned and operational by the grant end date stated in your Grant Offer Letter. 

The delayed commissioning process applies where all physical installations are completed on site by the grant end date, but they are unable to be commissioned and operational by this date because other factors, outside your control, will prevent you from doing so.

The delayed completion process applies where projects are unable to complete fully by the grant end date, and the remaining works will be completed after this date using alternative funding. If your project is not expected to complete by the grant end date, we will require a letter signed by the authorising official confirming the value and measures to be installed after the grant end date and confirming that alternative funding is available to complete the project. 

Please inform your relationship manager as soon as possible if you expect any delays to completion of your project. Any extension to the practical completion date is not guaranteed and requests will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Please note that grant recipients will not be able to draw down funds for any works completed after 31 March 2026, the cost of any works completed after this date must be covered by the grant recipient.
