More time for Greater Lincolnshire businesses to access energy-saving grants and support

The Smart Energy Greater Lincolnshire programme was set to finish in March, but a six-month extension will now see it to run until September.

Through the programme, businesses can benefit from workshops, energy audits, and grant funding for energy-saving measures, such as LED lighting.

Helen Norris, programme manager for Smart Energy Greater Lincolnshire, said: “We are delighted to have received an extension. This means that businesses can still access world leading expertise from our partners, IfaS, who provide informative workshops and free energy audits for businesses. Our funding is running out fast, so if you are thinking of applying, now is the time.”

To be eligible for support, businesses must be small-to-medium-sized operations located in Greater Lincolnshire.

Smart Energy Greater Lincolnshire is a £8.5m programme that has been partly funded by the European Regional Development Fund to help support businesses to save energy and cut carbon emissions. It is led by North East Lincolnshire Council.
