  • process efficiency investments

Energy Efficiency Grants are available to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Greater Manchester subject to business and project eligibility and the scale of CO2e savings expected from the project.

What’s the small print?

Eligible projects will need to provide a minimum of two quotes from reputable independent suppliers.

We’ll assess your application by:
