Green Business Grants are designed to help SMEs (including registered charities) purchase and install new products and equipment that reduce your greenhouse gas emissions, cut your utility costs and improve your energy efficiency.
Applications must help the business to achieve a measurable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions when compared to your current baseline emissions.
Grants are available on a first come, first served basis. You can apply for a grant of up to £15,000. 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. It is likely the scheme will 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.
Your grant application must be supported by an independent carbon assessment of your business. WECA’s Carbon Survey programme offers this advice for free.
