The UK Government has launched Phase 1 of the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF). The funding programme will support businesses with high energy use transition to a low carbon future and reduce their emissions through increased energy efficiency and decarbonisation.
The Phase 1 funding for England, Wales and Northern Ireland will open in July and is worth up to £30 million.
Funding is available in the form of a grant scheme for:
- the deployment of mature energy efficiency technologies that improve industrial process energy efficiency and reduce energy demand
- feasibility and engineering studies for projects deploying mature energy efficiency or deep decarbonisation technologies
For further information including Phase 1 guidance for applicants, please visit the Gov.UK website.
