Energy Efficiency Grants for SMEs: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Small businesses can receive co-funding to upgrade equipment like lighting and cooling systems to reduce energy use.
This scheme provides financial support to help small businesses lower their energy consumption by upgrading their equipment.
Who it's for
This program is designed for small businesses that are looking to upgrade their existing equipment to more efficient models.
What you get
You can receive co-funding to help pay for the cost of installing energy-efficient equipment. This specifically includes upgrades for lighting, refrigeration, or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
What it costs you
While the grant provides financial assistance, you will need to manage the administrative side of the process. You must provide formal quotes for the equipment and submit proof once the installation is complete.

How to apply
