A leading global renewable energy specialist is urging small firms in the region to take advantage of increased Government funding for energy efficiency improvements.
Stiebel Eltron says the Carbon Trust is set to relax its rules for loans on energy efficiency improvements and expand the funds available to help small firms struggling for resources because of the credit crunch. The Carbon Trust is a Government-funded body created to help businesses cut their carbon emissions.
It will double the maximum size of its interest-free energy efficiency loans to £200,000.
It will also increase the overall loans pot by 45 per cent to £31million.
The interest free loans are unsecured and repayable over a period of up to four years.
Stiebel Eltron’s Eastern manager Ian Stone said the move was welcome, and urged businesses to take advantage of it to help slash energy bills by going green.
He said Stiebel Eltron would undertake a free energy efficiency report for any firm.
