Applications for Green Business Grants, the first of five projects to be launched with funding from the Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF), are now open.
Teignbridge businesses keen to play their part in tackling climate change can apply for decarbonisation grants to help them reduce emissions and lower energy costs within their workplaces.
£165,000 has been allocated for this financial year for Green Business Grants as part of the £1.6m UKSPF funding allocated to Teignbridge which runs until March 2025.
Companies can apply for grants ranging from £3,000 – £25,000 to pay for things like LED lighting, low energy heating systems, heat pumps, double/triple glazed windows and doors or thermal insulations.
The Green Business Grants are also available to charities and not for profit organisations.
Applications for grant funding - which will cover 80% of the cost for businesses and 100% for charities and not for profit organisations and be paid in arrears - must be made via our web page teignbridge.gov.uk/greenbusinessgrant.
Funding will be allocated on a first come first served basis and must be spent by 31 March 2023.
Businesses looking to deliver on climate goals can find out more on the SME Climate Hub or on the Decarbonise Devon site.

Last chance for business to comment on the Local Plan
 The seven-week consultation launched last month gives businesses and local people a fifth and final chance to comment on the Draft Local Plan which will shape development in the district until 2040.
The consultation runs until midday on Monday 13 March. The Plan and all comments received from residents, businesses, town and parish councils and other organisations will then be passed to the planning inspectorate for review and public examination. Anyone who submits a written objection is entitled to appear before the Inspector at the Local Plan Examination Hearing.
The Plan identifies land for homes and jobs for local people, protects valued environments and creates more public open spaces. It tackles climate change and promotes low carbon energy to help secure future needs. It also sets out the infrastructure needed to support developments such as roads, schools and health centres.
Unlike previous consultations which sought views on alternative options, this consultation is focused on whether the draft plan meets legal requirements, is in line with national policy and whether the council has cooperated with neighbouring authorities and statutory authorities in its preparation.
