Green Business Grants

Green Business Grants are designed to help SMEs (including registered charities) purchase and install new products and equipment that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, cut utility costs and improve energy efficiency. Applications must help the business to achieve a measurable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions when compared to current baseline emissions. Grants are available on a first come, first served basis. All projects are expected to take up to 6 months and must be completed and claimed by the end of March 2026 at the latest. The scheme will likely close for applications in Autumn 2025, but could close early if all funds are awarded. Applications are assessed on their own merit against set criteria and awards are made on a rolling basis throughout the grant round. Grant applications must be supported by an independent carbon assessment of the business, which is offered for free through WECA's Carbon Survey programme.
