Why should you apply?
REASON 1:
In short, you’ll save money: your energy bills will come down.
If you’re in a small office with around 60 or 70 old two-foot T8 quad fittings*, you could save more than 50% on your future annual lighting costs by replacing them with efficient LED panels.
If you’ve a factory or warehouse, then replacing your 15 to 20 old 250-watt sodium lights* with more efficient 100W equivalents could knock as much as 60% off your annual lighting bills.
(*Don’t worry if these mean nothing to you – we’ll help cut through the jargon and connect you with the appropriate experts.)
REASON 2:
Not only that, but you’ll be helping to make Greater Manchester one of the leading green cities in Europe.
REASON 3:
And, on top of this, you’ll be able to show off your green credentials to your customers by signing our green business pledge.?
