LoCASE
Low Carbon Across The South And East
Beyond Procurement helps businesses access grant funding to reduce their costs, carbon emissions and become more profitable.
The grant can cover 40% of expenditure towards your business growth, up to a maximum of £10,000 and is administered within the Clean Growth Programme by Low Carbon Across the South East (LoCASE).
What the grant can support
The grant can be used for:
- Energy efficiency measures including heating, lighting, insulation, refrigeration, investment in renewables, machinery upgrades.
- Transport efficiency measures including second-hand Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs), sustainable travel planning and fleet management software.
In addition, businesses that supply low carbon goods and services and therefore help to remove carbon from other businesses or improve their energy efficiency, can use the grant to support projects like:
- Business development measures such as marketing, website development, new IT hardware and systems, materials for R&D, certification and accreditation.
- Plant and Machinery such as re-tooling and installation of new or replacement machinery and hardware.
Grants for energy efficient projects are usually capped at £5k, but can pay up to a maximum of £10k, depending on how much carbon will be reduced.
The grant pays 40% of project costs, up to a maximum grant of £10k, so to receive this, the project spend needs to be £25k or more.
There is also a minimum grant value of £1k, so the minimum project spend for grant support needs to be £2.5k.
