Business Energy Advice Service (West Midlands and Warwickshire)

The Business Energy Advice Service (BEAS) supports businesses with fewer than 250 employees based in the West Midlands and Warwickshire who want to save money on energy, waste and water bills and maximise low carbon opportunities. The Business Energy Advice Service (BEAS) is a government-funded pilot programme designed to help businesses reduce energy costs and drive growth through free energy assessments and 50% match-funded grants.

We provide free energy and resource efficiency audits to help identify where energy, water and waste savings can be made, as well as low-carbon product development.

BEAS is funded by the UK Government through the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ).  BEAS is available to businesses based in the West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) region including Coventry and outside the WMCA area including Warwickshire.  Coventry City Council is delivering the BEAS programme for Coventry and Warwickshire.

Small to medium-sized enterprises (SME) in the West Midlands and Warwickshire will be supported to be more energy efficient through the BEAS programme leading to cost savings and new opportunities.

Benefits of the programme include:

• Free energy and resource efficiency audits to help identify energy savings.
• Continued free membership to the Green Business Network.
• Access to other specialist support to enable growth and innovation.
• Free events, workshops, webinars, podcasts and 1:1 support.
• If eligible will be able to apply to one of the capital grant programmes
