Industrial Energy Transformation Fund Phase 2 Competition Briefing

Organiser

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), in collaboration with KTN, will be hosting an online competition briefing webinar on the 6th October 2021 to promote the £220m Phase 2 Industrial Energy Transformation Fund (IETF) and to share details of the new Autumn 2021 window of funding.

About Event

The IETF will support businesses with high energy use to transition to a low carbon future, and to cut their bills and emissions through increased energy efficiency and decarbonisation. It is a crucial part of the Government’s strategy for tackling climate change and reaching Net Zero by 2050. It complements other government programmes that offer innovation and early demonstration support, such as the Industrial Energy Efficiency Accelerator and Industrial Fuel Switching (part of the Net Zero Innovation Portfolio) and will help to transform an important part of the UK economy.

The Phase 2 competition for England, Wales and Northern Ireland  opens on the 27th September 2021 and runs until 6th December and is worth up to £60 million in funding. It will be available in the form of a grant scheme and will fund:

Studies - feasibility and engineering studies to investigate identified energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects prior to making an investment decision. 
Energy Efficiency projects - deployment of technologies to reduce industrial energy consumption. 
Deep Decarbonisation projects - deployment of technologies to achieve industrial emissions savings. This strand of the competition is new for Phase 2.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas.

I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
