Businesses can get the below support:

Energy Assessments.
This free assessment will look at your energy consumption and provide you with recommendations to save money and reduce your carbon emissions.
Low Carbon Grant.
Opportunity to apply for grants of between £1,000 and £100,000 (cover up to 50% of eligible costs) is available per business to implement recommendations from your Energy Assessment.

You can choose whether to attend an in-person or online course, and the training is accredited by the Carbon Literacy Project, you can book a place on the course on the Staffordshire Business Environment Network website.
Energy Assessment
Your business can get a free Energy Assessment if your business:

- Has not received over £315,000 in subsidies in the current and previous two financial years (financial year being 1 April to 31 March).
The Energy Assessment is delivered by independent specialists, Pro Enviro Ltd and is fully subsidised. This means that you, the recipient business, will not need to contribute any finance towards it, although the value of the subsidy will be notified to you and taken from our allocation of funds on your behalf.
