Business Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP)

The Business Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP) supports Small to Medium sized Enterprises (SMEs) across County Durham to generate financial savings through energy efficiency and energy awareness.

What is BEEP?

The Business Energy Efficiency Project (BEEP) supports County Durham SMEs who wish to make financial savings through energy efficiency and energy generation.

With support from both Durham County Council and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), BEEP provides a fully funded and independent audit to identify where financial savings can be made.

The Project can also provide SMEs with finance in the form of grant support to further reduce the payback of any energy efficient installation.
