Welcome to Low Carbon SMEs

Please note this programme has now closed.

Low carbon SMEs is no ordinary energy advice service. We are here to transform businesses for a sustainable future. We take a practical approach to making change happen by providing free, expert energy efficiency support and advice to small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Black Country, Greater Birmingham and Solihull.

We bring together the best academic minds; industrial expertise; and a solid understanding of the low carbon drivers that impact on SME businesses in our region. The result is a holistic approach to energy efficiency that will lead your SME to higher productivity and a strengthened bottom line. Evidence shows that even low and no-cost actions can typically reduce energy costs by at least 10% - coupled with quick returns.

We provide free advice and grant support to SMEs on a whole range of energy efficiency challenges. Our specialist strategies and guidance will set your business on a pathway to carbon reduction.
