Businesses across Shropshire can now access support to improve energy efficiency and reduce costs, thanks to the Business Energy Advice Service (BEAS) and The Shropshire Energy Programme.
Funded by Government and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, the programmes offer local businesses a free expert energy assessment and access to grants ranging from £1,000 to £100,000. These grants can be used to invest in equipment and machinery improvements and upgrades such as efficient lighting systems, heating improvements, solar panels and other smart energy-saving technologies.
From cafes to manufacturing sites, the scheme is designed to support a wide range of organisations looking to reduce their energy bills and improve operational performance. It can not only helps businesses become more sustainable but also enhances long-term profitability through reduced energy costs.
To be eligible for BEAS, businesses must consume 25,000 kWh or more of energy annually. An easy-to-use online eligibility calculator is available to guide applicants through the process. For businesses that don’t qualify for BEAS, the Shropshire Energy Programme could still be available for energy assessments and grant funding of up to £30,000.
This is a fantastic opportunity for local businesses to future-proof their operations and become more resilient to rising energy prices.
Don’t miss out on this limited-time funding. Businesses can check eligibility and apply for BEAS today via the Business Growth West Midlands website: www.businessgrowthwestmidlands.org.uk/beas
