Business customer journey

Support available to local authorities Through Work Package 4 (Investment in public infrastructures) Local authorities are able to benefit from investment in energy efficiency, smart energy management and renewable energy for their public buildings. Through utilisation of ERDF grant and the Salix Energy Efficiency Loans Scheme, projects will be delivered at no cost to local authorities. A total of 3.8m of investment will be facilitated through this activity. Although all local authorities in Greater Lincolnshire are able to benefit from funding, work has already begun on identifying suitable schemes for North East Lincolnshire Council s public buildings

Investment Grade Audit has identified North East Lincolnshire s priority buildings, and the Energy Conservation Measures (ECMs) suitable for installation. A suite of ECMs have therefore been proposed for each building. Their installation is fully funded by the project, at no cost to the Council.
