Energy-efficiency loans from the Carbon Trust

A Carbon Trust loan may provide your organisation with the help it needs to overcome capital cost barriers and give you the ability to kick-start your energy and carbon reduction programme.

Upgrading to the latest energy efficient equipment can help your organisation reduce energy costs, modernise production and become more competitive.  With few businesses keen to take out loans for capital investment right now, the Carbon Trust’s government funded 0% business loans are the perfect solution.

Businesses can acquire the latest equipment, effectively paid for with the monthly energy savings that it  produces.

What energy saving equipment is eligible?

Carbon Trust loans are offered on the basis of on-site carbon savings- therefore, any equipment that saves enough energy can be considered.

Examples of eligible equipment include lighting, refrigeration, air conditioning, power units, boilers, air compressors, power drives or larger-scale refurbishments of steam generating plant.

Each application is individually assessed on the basis of its energy savings and the technology involved.

Loan repayment periods

Carbon Trust Loan repayment periods are set at a maximum of four years, with monthly repayments calculated to be covered by energy savings. Based on the calculated CO2 saving the Carbon Trust will quantify the payback period which will be between 12 and 48 months.
 
Once the loan is fully paid off, the continued savings on energy costs will go straight to the company’s bottom line.

Eligibility criteria

The following are eligible:

  • SMEs, defined as companies with fewer than 250 full time employees and with less than €50  million in turnover (approximately £43m) or less than €43 million in assets (approximately  £37m).
  • Larger businesses that don’t fall under the CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme
    should now also qualify for a  loan – this typically equates to those that spend less than £500,000 a year on electricity.
In order to comply with EU guidelines on State Aid, companies operating in agriculture, fisheries, transport or export-related activities are not eligible.


For businesses not eligible for a 0% loan, alternative energy-saving advice and support is available- contact us for more information.
