The Marches Renewable Energy Grant Scheme

The Marches Renewable Energy Grant Scheme can help small and medium sized enterprises across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin get a 50 per cent grant towards installing renewable energy sources. Project manager Adrian Marshall said the scheme had been designed to be as straightforward as possible and covered a range of renewable technologies including wind power, solar energy, air-sourced heat pumps, ground-sourced energy supplies and biomass. “This grant scheme offers a real opportunity for businesses across the region to switch to sustainable and renewable energy supplies by meeting half the cost of installing these new technologies on their premises," he said. “There is no maximum grant, but installations are expected to be in the range of four to 200kWp. Eligible applicants include statutory and non-statutory public funded organisations/bodies, higher and further education institutions, voluntary community organisations, private sector companies and not-for-profit organisations.” All information can be found at - https://www.shropshire.gov.uk/funding-opportunities/marches-renewable-energy-project/.
