Accelerating Reduction in Carbon (ARC)

Free carbon reduction audits and low carbon grants.

Businesses across Greater Nottingham are taking steps to improve their energy efficiency, can you afford not to?

The Accelerating Reduction in Carbon grant programme (ARC) supports small and medium-sized businesses who want to save money on energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint.

The carbon reduction grants can provide financial support to invest in measures that lead to cost and carbon savings for your business. Businesses have already used our grants to implement projects such as LED lighting and heating upgrades, installation of energy efficient cooling systems, insulation and production of renewable energy.

ARC can offer eligible businesses grants of up to ?14,000 to fund 35% of the cost of installing carbon reduction measures.

The ARC project is part financed by the European Development Fund and is delivered by Nottingham City Council.

Information about ARC can be found on *the Energy Services website [ [link removed] ]*.

Alternatively, please call David Kelly, ARC Project Manager, on *0115 876 4271* or email *[email protected]*
