Grant for Improving Your Resource Efficiency

Please note that the Northwest Regional Development Agency is not accepting any new funding applications, or processing existing ones, at the present time.

Government has required us to substantially reduce our expenditure and as a result we have embarked on a comprehensive project review, including how we provide financial support for the region's businesses.

We appreciate this may cause some uncertainty, particularly if you have an application underway; if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact your usual Agency contact. More information is available on the NWDA website.

Grant for Improving Your Resource Efficiency awards provide enhanced help for capital investment where the project will contribute to reducing Co2 emissions and generate wider environmental benefits in the region. They are discretionary and usually take the form of a grant where support from the Carbon Trust can not be provided. Generally this will be the minimum necessary for the project to go ahead.

Small to Medium sized businesses can apply, but the maximum level of grant available is 50% of the total project cost. The level of grant is not dependant on where the project is based, but if your project is in one of the region's key industry sectors, it will have more chance of success.
