Concerned about your business energy costs?

Or perhaps you're worried about your environmental impact, or would like to appeal to new eco-conscious consumers?

If any of the above apply to your business and you're based in South Oxfordshire or Vale of White Horse, then we encourage you to apply for a grant of up to £10,000 that can be used to help buy, build, or make improvements to long-term assets that help your business to cut harmful emissions, while saving on bills and gaining new customers!
The funding (allocated via the UK Shared Prosperity Fund) is aimed at supporting business decarbonisation while growing the local economy. 

We're making grants of up to £10,000 available to support your business with some of the capital costs of lowering your carbon footprint. The grant fund could support your business with projects and equipment, such as:

Installing...
  • Electric Vehicle chargers for your business
  • smart energy controls, (e.g. Hive or Nest thermostats)
  • renewable energy equipment, such as solar panels or battery storage
Replacing...
  • gas boilers with air or ground source heat pumps
  • petrol or diesel vehicles with eco-friendly alternatives, such as e-bikes or EVs
Or...
  • improving insulation at your premises
  • building living walls, green roofs or rain gardens that sequester carbon
  • purchasing or building equipment that enables reduction of waste
Please note that we cannot fund new gas boilers or newer diesel vehicles, or similar equipment that may continue to have a negative impact on our climate objectives, or that do not support the delivery of the district council’s net-zero emissions targets.
Who can apply to the scheme? 
  • Private sector companies
  • Sole Traders
  • Partnership
  • Registered charities
  • Social enterprises, e.g. CIC’s
Before applying, you’ll need to read our Grant Policy, Capital Expenditure Guide and Standard Conditions. These can be found on our South and Vale websites, using the links below.
This grant scheme is competitive, and closes for applications at 3pm on Monday 7 October.

Please ensure you submit your applications as soon as possible to be in with a chance of securing funding for your business.
