The Business Energy Grant can only be used to fund capital expenditure on specified equipment that has been identified by an energy audit as reducing energy use/costs and delivering a contribution to carbon reduction. The grants cannot be used to fund energy bill payments.
An energy audit will need to be undertaken as part of the Grant process, which the Council will fund and arrange.
There are 3 levels of grant available, the award for approved applications will depend on the cost of the equipment specified in the energy audit.
Grant categories will be £500 (for expenditure of £500 - £999) £1,000 (for expenditure of £1,001 - £1,999) £2,000 (for expenditure of £2,000 and above)
The grants will fund a contribution of up to 100%, of the approved costs of measures up to the maximum grant of £2000.
Grants (for approved applications) will only be paid on completion of the work and on receipt of a paid invoice and receipt for the approved, eligible equipment.
