Energy Contracting Support Scheme

Fund energy-saving, decarbonisation projects

This scheme encourages businesses to invest in energy efficiency projects through Energy Performance Contracts (EPCs) for guaranteed results at a lower cost. 

 

An Energy Performance Contract (EPC) means a contractor upgrades your place of business to save energy and promises you savings. You pay them back with the savings over time. If you save less than promised, the contractor pays the difference, ensuring you benefit.

  • Support finding qualified contractors and with the project proposal 

What can it be used for?

  • Introducing energy-efficient measures in buildings and facilities i.e. deep energy retrofits, and installation of energy-efficient equipment
  • Switching to renewable energy sources like solar panels, wind turbines, or biomass boilers 
  • Guaranteeing energy savings
