Energy grants for Wiltshire businesses

Grants worth up to £6,000 are now available to Wiltshire businesses as part of a new energy-efficiency drive – don't miss out!

If you're a hospitality or retail business in Wiltshire, you could be eligible for a £6,000 grant that helps improve energy efficiency. It's funded by Wiltshire Council and includes free energy health checks and expert advice. 

Council leader Richard Clewer said: “Small businesses are critical to the health of our high streets and have an important role to play in Wiltshire’s sustainability journey, but high energy costs can make a big dent in their profit margins.

“With energy costs still fluctuating, this scheme will provide much-needed expert support for businesses struggling to manage their overheads.”

Examples of eligible carbon-saving improvements include more efficient heating systems, insulation, lighting upgrades and renewable energy installation.

How do I qualify? 

If you're in one of the following towns, you can apply for the scheme: Amesbury, Bradford on Avon, Calne, Chippenham, Corsham, Cricklade, Devizes, Downton, Ludgershall, Malmesbury, Marlborough, Melksham, Mere, Pewsey, Royal Wootton Bassett, Salisbury, Tidworth, Tisbury, Trowbridge, Warminster, Westbury and Wilton. 

You must employ fewer than 50 people, have a turnover of less than £10.2 million and have no more than £5.1 million on your balance sheet. 

Your business must also be in the leisure, hospitality or retail sector. 

How do I apply?

Applications are being taken through Severn Wye Energy Agency, and you can apply by visiting their website at https://severnwye.org.uk/project/business-energy-services-wiltshire-town-smes/

The scheme is currently open until October 2025 but may close sooner, so be sure to get your application in!
