Bromsgrove Editorial 6th Feb, 2021   0

GRANTS are on offer from Worcestershire County Council to encourage local businesses to become greener and cut costs for 2021.

Both the Business Energy Efficiency Programme (BEEP) and the Low Carbon Opportunities Programme (LOCOP) offer free assessments and grants to eligible local businesses to support clean growth and help local firms save money.

Over the last four years, Worcestershire County Council and its partners have supported 700 local businesses and awarded £2.7million worth of grants, helping local businesses make a massive saving of over 6,000 tonnes of greenhouse gasses.

BEEP offers free energy efficiency assessments and grants of up to £20,000 for eligible businesses and its recommendations on average, reduce energy bills by around 30 per cent.




For businesses interested in investing in solar or other renewable technologies, LOCOP offers renewable energy assessments and grants of up to £100,000 for eligible businesses

Both programmes are part-funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
