The Energy Audit Voucher has been designed to gain information on how to best optimise energy usage, reduce costs and improve sustainability of the operation of the business.

An Energy Audit Voucher will provide 100% of eligible project costs (excluding VAT), up to a maximum grant value of £2500. To be eligible, the applicant must have been trading for 12 months.
