The Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF) includes protected horticulture for the first time
Phase 3 of the Industrial Energy Transformation Fund now includes controlled environment (edible) horticulture for the first time. There is £185 million worth of capital investment match funding available for business projects focused on decarbonising and energy efficiency technologies. This includes:
Feasibility and engineering studies for potential deployment projects that will deliver energy efficiency or decarbonisation benefits if implemented, enabling decision-makers to make informed investment choices.
Deployment of mature energy efficiency technologies that improve industrial energy efficiency and reduce energy demand.
Deployment of deep decarbonisation technologies that reduce carbon emissions associated with the industrial process.
If you are looking into any projects that may fit this criteria, it's worth looking at your eligibility and how to apply. The competition for funding is open from 29th January - 19th April 2024.
