It was launch in November 2022 and there are already 28 projects in the pipeline, looking for £36 million. Applicants include small and medium sized businesses, local authorities, the NHS, and not-for-profit organisations.
Loans, equity and grants are available to fund small and medium sized innovative projects that deliver significant carbon savings and help create new jobs and develop skills in the region’s green and low carbon industries.
