Salford businesses can now apply for a grant of up to £5K if they need support with ‘energy efficient projects’.
The Energy Efficiency grant is available to small and medium enterprises based in Salford, providing 50 per cent of the cost to deliver projects worth up to £5,000. Eligible projects include heating equipment upgrades, replacement motors, process efficiency investments, and lighting efficiency.
To qualify for the grant, projects must specify the scale of CO2e savings expected from the project.
The £5,000 grant is on offer from Green Economy, who has been commissioned by Greater Manchester Combined Authority. They aim to deliver funded business support programmes in order to support the local ambition to be a net zero city-region by 2038.
Alasdair Dalzel-Job, Technical Lead at Green Economy said: “We have seen time and again that the key barrier to net zero for businesses is accessing cashflow and capital investment to take those ‘nice to do projects’ to the top of their ‘to do’ list. This grant presents a real opportunity for businesses in Salford to prioritise energy efficiency improvements in 2024.
“We have delivered a number of grants for businesses over the years, awarding over £1 million since 2018, which has helped businesses to save £2.3 million in overheads, with annual carbon savings of 5,773.63 carbon tonnes.”
