At Business Electrical, we are always looking for ways to help businesses become more energy efficient while saving money. If you’re considering upgrading your lighting, installing solar panels, or investing in energy-saving electrical equipment, the Green Business Grant from the West of England Combined Authority could provide the financial support you need.

What is the Green Business Grant?
