LoCASE energy efficiency grants

Due to the success of the LoCASE Energy Efficiency and Business Growth Grant programme, the respective £3 million grant pots for each area of support are currently fully committed.

We are not accepting new applications at this time but expect the follow-on LOCASE project and grant programme to start in July 2019.

Please do sign up to Green Growth Platform to receive our newsletter with details of further funding opportunities as they arise.

Who can apply?

Businesses from most sectors can apply, provided they:

  • are an SME

  • have not exceeded their State Aid allowance.

When you first contact us we'll be able to confirm whether your business is eligible to apply.

GGP members

What can I buy with the grant?

Put together a shopping list and the grant can cover 40 per cent of the total cost, up to a maximum of £10,000*.

Your shopping list can include:

  • LED lighting
  • Energy efficient heating systems
  • Renewable energy
  • Insulation
  • Building improvements
  • Electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles.

*Please note that higher grant values must demonstrate a high level of carbon savings.

How to Apply

We've kept it as simple as possible...

  1. Complete an eligibility questionnaire and send it to greengrowthplatform@brighton.ac.uk.
  2. We'll confirm your eligibility and arrange for a free energy audit. The audit will provide advice on the most effective energy efficiency upgrades.
  3. You decide what you'd like to buy.
  4. We’ll help you complete the forms. You need to get two quotes for each item on your list, to ensure value for money.
  5. Once your application is approved, you order and pay for each item.
  6. You send us proof of purchase, and we’ll pay you the grant within 30 days – usually much sooner.

Contact us at greengrowthplatform@brighton.ac.uk or call us on 01273 641 949.
