Before you apply
Before you apply for a grant, you must have an energy audit caried out on your business premises.
The audit will create a report outlining energy efficiency recommendations.
When you will need an energy audit
You will need to have an energy audit if:
- you have not had an energy audit completed before
- it has been more than 2 years since you had an energy audit
If you have had an energy audit completed in the last 2 years, you do not need to register for another audit.
You will need to submit your energy audit with your BEAS grant application.
How to register

- recent energy bill details (gas and electricity)
- Companies House number – for limited companies, or
