Business Energy Efficiency Programme (BEEP)
We're offering SMEs in Telford & Wrekin, Shropshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire, free energy efficiency assessments which could lead to grants for businesses who wish to use their energy more efficiently, reducing costs and improving environmental credentials.
Step 1
We assess your equipment, premises, processes and performance to find opportunities for improvements in energy usage.
Step 2
You can then apply for a grant for projects worth up to £50,000. The grant intervention rate is 40%. For example, if your project costs £10,000, your contribution is £6,000 and we provide £4,000.
