Apply for a BEAS grant

Business Energy Advice Service (BEAS) grant funding is limited and will be offered on a first come, first served basis.

This allows as many businesses as possible to benefit from the BEAS funding. Applications are limited to 1 per business.

If you received BEAS funding as part of the 2024 to 2025 programme, you can apply again if you meet both of the following conditions:

  • you did not receive more than £100,000 in grant funding
  • there are still recommendations in the audit that you have not implemented

How to apply

If your business is based in Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall or Wolverhampton, register your interest in BEAS funding by emailing BEAS@birmingham.gov.uk.

What to provide with your application

You will need to provide quotes for all the project expenditure items. You will need to provide:

  • 1 quote for items up to £2,499
  • 3 quotes for items from £2,500 to £24,999 - this can be for 1 item or the sum of many items from 1 supplier

Quotes for project expenditure should not be from:

  • people or businesses connected to your business
  • its directors
  • its shareholders

For items over £25,000, you should carry out a tender process.

What happens next

Timescales

The grant application process can take up to 3 months.

If your business is classified as ‘energy-intensive’ (using over 0.75 gigawatt-hours per year), the process can take up to 6 months.

Reporting

You do not need to provide regular progress reports on your project. However, you must report any issues that arise during the project to your allocated project officer.

You should also report any jobs created as a result of receiving a grant.

The programme funders need to know the impact that projects have had on businesses, so you will need to complete an impact survey when your project has finished. The information you provide may be used on the BEAS testimonials page.

You may also be asked to take part in a press release.

If you need more information

If your business is based in Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall or Wolverhampton, email BEAS@birmingham.gov.uk.
