The Greater Birmingham and Solihull Learning Enterprise Partnership has grants available for capital expenditure that will result in a reduction of carbon emmissions (eg solar panels) details below
The funding available is a grant of up to £10,000 (30% match funded) to help businesses invest in capital projects that will result in a reduction of carbon emissions. These capital projects could include solar panels, voltage optimisation, insulation or changes to make machinery more efficient. If you do not already have LED lighting, we would suggest this is your strongest choice in terms of price, speed of installation, payback time and energy savings. No project is too big or too small, your grant amount will be dependent on how much energy you save.
Eligibility criteria for the grant require businesses to:
- Have 5-249 full time equivalent employees.
- Have 2+ years of trading from the date of your application.
- Be a registered business or organisation (CIC) based in the Greater Birmingham and Solihull area.
Conditions of the grant being offered include (but not limited to):
- The business must show significant energy saving or renewable energy production and grants will be awarded based on the energy savings and value for money as well as project deliverability (i.e. timescales for delivery).
- The applicant business must provide a minimum of 30% match towards the total cost of the measures they wish to apply for grant funding towards.
- The energy efficiency and reduction measures will need to be installed, completed and paid for by 1st March 2023.
