business energy efficiency project
The scheme is an independent service
which aims to generate financial savings
through reduced energy consumption or
generation.
The BEEP website launches this summer
which will allow businesses to read case
studies and success stories alongside
downloadable free fact sheets which provide
an introduction to a range of energy-related
actions and technologies. It will also features
a series of fuel saving hints and tips.
In partnership with Business Durham,
FSB, NECC and Northern Powergrid, the
project aims to provide businesses in County
Durham with an in-depth energy audit, which
will look to identify areas where SMEs can
save money through reducing their energy
consumption.
Participating SMEs are not charged for our
services (all costs are covered by Durham
County Council and the European Regional
Development Fund) which include a bespoke
energy audit, data analysis, prioritised
investment recommendations and support
as required to procure, select and adopt
any new and improved energy efficient
equipment.
The project operates a grant fund which
is used to reduce the payback period of any
chosen installation, but the grant is available
on a first-come-first-served basis so once it’s
gone its gone (subject to application terms
and conditions).
The project has been financially supported
through the European Regional Development
Fund (ERDF) and Durham County Council.
