Businesses in Wales can now bid for a share of up to £60 million in grant funding through the new competition window, which runs from 31 January to 29 April 2022. The competition will provide grant funding towards the costs of feasibility and engineering studies, energy efficiency deployment projects and deep decarbonisation deployment projects.

IETF Technology Showcase event
BEIS will be hosting a live event in Birmingham on Thursday 10 March 2022 to showcase some of the IETF’s funded projects. The event will include an opportunity to hear from manufacturing sites who are planning to deploy technologies to reduce their energy demand such as heat recovery, VAR, process controls and to reduce their carbon emissions such as carbon capture and fuel switching to hydrogen.
As well as helping to understand how technology can assist your site to reach net zero carbon, it will be a great opportunity to network face to face and build partnerships for future IETF competition windows.

IETF stakeholder clinics
The stakeholder clinics help businesses planning on bidding for Phase 2 funding by enabling them to speak directly to BEIS and ask questions around potential bids, scope of the competitions, eligibility criteria, how to apply for funding, the IETF support and information services available and so on..
They provide an excellent opportunity to engage with organisations directly and welcome the chance to be able to talk to you and help with your queries. The clinics are run on a fortnightly basis with the first ones taking place on 8 March and 22 March 2022.
