Are you an SME in Europe looking to boost your energy efficiency and reduce operational costs? The EENergy project is offering a unique opportunity to achieve just that, with grants of up to 10,000 euros available to help you implement impactful changes. This initiative is designed to support small and medium-sized enterprises in their journey towards sustainability, providing not only financial assistance but also expert guidance.
Boost Your Business with a 10,000 Euro Energy Efficiency Grant
The EENergy program is providing a significant financial incentive to SMEs committed to improving their energy footprint. Through the EENergy grant, at least 900 SMEs will receive up to 10,000 euros to put towards the implementation of a concrete energy efficiency action plan. This plan should target a minimum of 5% improvement in energy efficiency, ensuring tangible and measurable results for your business. This funding injection of 10,000 euros can be the catalyst your SME needs to invest in upgrades and strategies that will pay dividends in the long run through reduced energy consumption.
How to Access the 10,000 Euro Grant
Participating in the EENergy program and accessing this 10,000 euro grant involves a straightforward process. SMEs need to collaborate with specialized sustainability advisors from the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN). These advisors will provide invaluable support in developing a customized energy efficiency action plan tailored to your specific business needs. They will also assist you in preparing and submitting your application for the EENergy open call. The application form is readily accessible on the project website, making it easy to start your journey towards securing the 10,000 euro grant.
Your application should detail your company information, the specific energy efficiency improvements you plan to undertake, and the anticipated funding required to implement your action plan. Eligible applications will be selected randomly to receive the grant of up to 10,000 euros.
Beyond the Grant: Continuous Support and Benchmarking
Even if your application is not selected for the 10,000 euro grant, participation in the EENergy program offers ongoing benefits. All eligible applicants will receive continued advisory services and support from Enterprise Europe Network sustainability advisors throughout the implementation of their action plan. Furthermore, you will receive anonymized reports that benchmark your energy efficiency performance against other applicants, categorized by size, sector, and location. This provides valuable insights and helps you understand your business’s energy efficiency standing within your industry.
Hanne Bregendahl Pihl, Coordinator of the EENergy project, emphasizes the unique advantage of this program: “The EENergy project provides a rather unique opportunity for companies to apply for financial support for the implementation of energy efficiency improvements, while at the same time receiving the individual support of Enterprise Europe Network sustainability advisors… This will help the company become more energy efficient independent of whether or not they receive the 10,000 EUR grant.”
