What is meant by “light infrastructure investment”?

"Light infrastructure investment" refers to small-scale, community-level energy installations that support REC activities. This may include:

• Solar PV panels
• Battery storage systems
• Monitoring and metering equipment
• Energy efficiency upgrades to existing systems

These investments are conditional upon a robust feasibility study and financial plan (Step 4). Only projects with strong evidence of viability, scalability and local impact will access this funding under Step 5 of Phase 2.
