Businesses across East Lindsey could get help reducing energy bills
The district council wants to invest £650,000 on a new programme offering advice and support on energy management
East Lindsey District Council is proposing a six hundred and fifty thousand pound support package to help local businesses cut energy costs.
The funding would offer guidance on smarter energy use and renewables.
The proposed programme is expected to provide support and guidance to businesses on how they can ‘make smarter and more informed energy management decisions.’
Councillor Steve Kirk says rising energy bills are one of the biggest pressures facing firms, especially along the coast.
He said: “Certainly, one of the hardest hitting areas currently that businesses are facing – small and large – is the ever increasing cost of energy."
Coun Kirk went on to say the proposed programme will aim to help businesses to use more renewable energy sources.
The district council is currently developing an action plan for the proposed business support programme. The scheme is expected to be formally launched in April this year.
