Funding for Hull businesses to take action and reduce energy consumption is helping participants save thousands of pounds a year – with grants of up to £15,000 still available.
The council-led Hull Business Energy Efficiency Scheme offers a host of measures to assist small and medium businesses in reducing costs, while also reducing emissions. A timely special event is taking place on Monday at the MKM Stadium to raise awareness of the opportunity.
HBEES has already helped almost 200 Hull businesses with support to install energy-saving measures including new heating and lighting systems, solar panels, and EV charging points. One beneficiary is Eltherington Group Ltd, an architectural aluminium manufacturer with a 15,000 sq ft plant on Hedon Road. Following assessment it received a £15,000 grant to put towards a more efficient LED lighting system. The business is now saving almost £40,000 a year.
