SMEs offered grants of up to £10k for renewables or energy efficient equipment

A new fund launched by the Carbon Trust is offering small and medium businesses up to £10k to install energy saving technology, including renewables and batteries behind the meter.

The Green Business Fund will provide direct funded support through energy assessments, training workshops, equipment procurement support and up to £10k capital (or up to 30% of the purchase cost) per company towards purchasing equipment to save energy. The fund is available to SMEs installing renewable technologies or replacing equipment they currently own with energy efficient alternatives where the savings can be clearly defined in the first five years.
