Following the government’s commitment to help with energy costs for businesses, Marches Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP) now has funding available under the Marches Energy Grant (MEG) scheme.
Businesses can apply for a free energy audit, where an expert will visit a business and make recommendations on how the business could reduce its energy consumption. Recommendations range from simple solutions such as LED lights, use of light sensors and insulation to be more involved solutions such as Solar panels, ground source heat pumps and new energy efficient machinery. Businesses will then be able to access a grant of up to £20k towards the cost of new energy saving measures as recommended by the audit.
