Businesses, schools and community buildings energy advice and grants

Businesses

Local and national grants are regularly available to help businesses and community groups reduce their carbon footprint or improve their energy efficiency. Business support groups can help with signposting and supporting applications for funds.

If you’re looking to take action in your business, you can explore these business snapshots for inspiration, ideas and learning.

Advice and support for Herefordshire businesses is available from Herefordshire Growth Hub.

Schools and community buildings

We have produced a guide for schools on energy saving and carbon reduction. This guide shows how simple, no-cost actions can reduce energy use by up to 10%, delivering reductions in costs and emissions.

Please note this guide was first published in 2020 so some of the example energy costs will now be out of date.

To help monitor energy usage, West Mercia Energy can supply historic energy data and other suppliers may also be able to provide data.

Let’s Go Zero

Herefordshire schools can take advantage of a free climate action advisor service from Let's Go Zero. This includes support to develop your school's climate action plan. Find out more and sign up on the Let’s Go Zero webpages.
