Switch Together Kent: Switch Together Kent – Kent County Council

Working with KCC we deliver Switch Together Kent. This is a group buying scheme that helps residents and businesses access solar panels and battery storage at more competitive prices. It works through a reverse auction, where installers bid for the works of the collective, essentially encouraging lower / competitive prices to win the auction and deliver the works.

Whilst we don’t currently have a live auction round, I’d recommend reviewing the details on the link above, and signing up to register your interest. That way you’ll be notified once an auction round goes live.

Kent Active Travel Business Grants: Kent Active Travel Business Grants – Kent County Council

This grant offers up to £5,000 to eligible businesses to help install active travel facilities at business premises. This could be used for cycle parking facilities, pool bikes, lockers and showers for staff, e-bike charging among other suitable projects.

Additionally, it can be useful to assess the carbon footprint of your business as a way of identifying opportunities to reduce emissions or focus your efforts on the highest emitting sources from your operations. To help businesses with this, we have developed a carbon footprint calculator that you can download here, free of charge: Calculating your emissions – TWBC Climate Action
