Get a Free Energy Assessment
for Your Organisation

Register for an Assessment

Our expert team is now able to offer any SME in Oxfordshire a free energy assessment, normally worth £1,500.

An assessment can help to make your premises cheaper to run, make buildings more comfortable for users, and position your organisation as a leader on sustainability in your community.

Unlock up to £10,000 in match funding

Organisations typically save 19% on their energy bills when implementing our recommendations of which a third are minimal or no-cost to action. Once you’ve had an assessment from us, you can apply for a grant which may be able to provide up to £10,000 in match funding which can be used to implement measures suggested in our report.

How an energy assessment can help

An assessment from our expert team will:

  1. Help you understand where you could save energy.
  2. Give you a list of priority, easy to implement actions to take that will help you save quickly.
  3. Provide estimated costs for each recommended measure, with how much energy and money they will save, as well as the carbon savings that will result.
  4. Advise on what low carbon technologies, such as solar PV or air source heat pumps, would be most suitable for your business.

The whole process has been seamless! The assessment itself was so informative, and I took a lot from it in terms of best practice and quick wins that we can implement to improve our energy efficiency on site.

Have a question?

Who can register for a free energy assessment?

To be eligible for an assessment, your organisation must be an SME (fewer than 250 employees) and be based in Oxfordshire. This offer is also available for community buildings.

If you are a larger organisation, please contact the ESOx team directly to discuss your needs.

What will my assessment report include?

Your report will be delivered following an in-person assessment of your premises. It will include a range of low- and no-cost actions to implement on your property, estimated costs and carbon savings for each specific measure, a bespoke analysis of your current set-up, and information on any funding opportunities.

The report will also provide recommendations for which low-carbon technologies are suitable for your premises.

Will I need to pay anything for the assessment?

No, the assessment and report is completely free, thanks to funding from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and Low Carbon Hub’s renewable portfolio project surpluses.

How long will the assessment take?

How long our on-site assessments take is dependent on the size and complexity of your business, but we won’t take up more than a couple of hours of your time.
