As we steer towards a more sustainable future, harnessing solar power is a step in the right direction. Businesses in Teignbridge are fortunate to have a golden opportunity at their fingertips, thanks to the Green Business Grant Funding programme. A chunk of the £1.6m Government allocation through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is earmarked for green energy-saving property improvements, with £165,000 readily available for applications.

So, what does this mean for your business?

Power Up Your Business with Green Funding

The grant can fund up to 80% or even 100% of costs, depending on your business type, making renewable energy sources such as solar panels, LED lighting, low energy heat pumps, and thermal insulation considerably more accessible.

Who is Eligible?

To qualify, applicants must be UK taxpayers and provide their UTR numbers. If trading as a Limited Company, you’re required to supply your company registration number (CRN), and those registered for VAT must provide their VAT Number.

How to Apply?

You can find full details about the grant and how to apply on the Teignbridge District Council website. As part of the application, you’ll need to prepare several documents, including your latest energy bill, formal accounts or latest tax return, and quotes for your proposed works. Be sure to gather these in advance to ensure a smooth application process.

Investing in solar energy is a cost-effective way for your business to meet Part L regulations and reduce both energy bills and carbon footprint. So, if you’re a Teignbridge business looking to tap into the power of the sun, why not consider applying for the Green Business Grant Funding today?
