Energy & Sustainability Funding

Everyone wants to become more sustainable, reduce carbon emissions and save money on their energy costs. But this is a complex task involving many moving parts, so it is important that you approach this strategically. Substantial reductions are possible by rethinking your energy strategy, but often lack of capital funding is a barrier to implementation.

Funding is available to support your decarbonisation journey, and we can help to secure this. Contact us today or book a free consultation.

Client Testimonials

“With Barker’s assistance, we were able to secure funds from the LCSF round to put together Energy Assessments for some of our schools, and amazingly, secure over £3million worth of funding with the PSDS round. Barker has been great through the whole process, assisting with the initial skills fund award, the bids, monitoring paperwork as well as project tenders, set up, and completion.”
