Renewable Energy Grants & Funding

STOP PRESS: 50% Government Grants for Schools, Charities and the Public Sector...

Schools, hospitals and the non-profit sector are all eligible for a 50% grant for renewable energy. The scheme ends in June 2009, leaving applicants only a few months to apply! Yet most schools and hospitals still do not know about the funding!... Contact us for details.

Is your local school an 'Eco-School'??

Putting a wind turbine in the schoolyard will reduce the energy bills and help the environment. A large wind turbine can save and generate £7000-8000 worth of electricity per year; it's economical and environmentally friendly. With the grant, a wind turbine will pay for itself in just 3-4 years! And from then on, it will generate free, clean energy, as well as inspiring the students and demonstrating that renewable energy works...


* Calling all Farmers and Landowners in the South East *

The South East England Development Agency are offering a grant of 40-50% for renewable energy for farmers and landowners! Call us on 0845 257 0041 to find out more and check if your postcode is eligible. Putting up a large wind turbine in a rural, windy area can generate enough electricity for your farm & to sell it back to the grid - to "farm wind".


Can your business save money with Renewable Energy?

The government are offering tax credits when you buy renewable energy equipment such as Solar Thermal, known as "Enhanced Capital Allowances". This allows you to offset the cost of going green by lowering your corporate tax bill. Renewable energy can lower your energy bills during this turbulent time, as well as giving your business the "green edge".

What's more, the Carbon Trust offer an interest-free loan of up to £200,000 for small & medium-sized businesses to buy renewable energy equipment. Instead of investing in shares, why not invest in renewable energy which will give you a guaranteed return by lowering your overheads? Energy bills continue to rise, so renewable energy will continue to become more beneficial for your business. Ask for details - we are a recognised supplier of the interest-free loans with the Carbon Trust.

Invest in the future- Renewables will make long-term savings, as well as protecting our planet for future generations.
