Energy efficiency grants and energy audits for Warwickshire businesses
Warwickshire Business Energy Advice Service
Coventry City Council, on behalf of Warwickshire County Council and the five District and Borough Councils, is dedicated to advancing a green, growing, and sustainable economy.
Our support focuses on promoting energy efficiency. Each business will undergo an energy audit, resulting in personalised decarbonisation plans to identify carbon and energy savings. This approach not only enhances energy efficiency but also leads to lower energy bills and more sustainable businesses.
Warwickshire Business Energy Advice Service (WBEAS) is set to introduce a grant scheme, providing financial support to businesses for the adoption of low-carbon practices.
