Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency grants

Lighting

We have grants available for applicants who are installing energy efficient hi-bay lighting. The grant assistance we provide is up to 30% of the total project cost. Companies also benefit from a free survey by lighting engineers who recommended fittings, costs, estimated annual savings and payback periods. Typically the pay pack for these schemes is less than two years. Our approved contractors are:

  • Patina Lighting
  • Parkersell

Case Studies

Montupet
Montupet (UK) took part in Energia’s 2005 Energy Efficicency Grant Scheme. They installed energy efficient lighting which will make savings of up to 40% for the manufacturer’s Dunmurry plant. Parkersell undertook the job of installing the new fittings, which use half the energy compared to the older, inefficient fittings and also provide a brighter, safer working environment.

Welcoming the new installation Tony Schmidt commented, "Energy efficiency was an important factor in our decision making. There has been a dramatic improvement in the working environment, with the workforce commenting on the improvement in lighting quality all of which helps with quality control and visual inspection. We are particularly pleased with the one year pay back period on our investment."

Montupet

Montupet benefited from a free survey by experienced lighting engineers who recommended fittings, costs, estimated annual savings and payback periods. With a pay back period of one year Montupet will benefit from energy savings of £100,000 at the end of this time.
Curleys
IN 2006, Curleys Supermarket, a family run business, participated in Energia’s Energy Efficiency Scheme. As part of a major refurbishment of its Dungannon site the company replaced its existing lighting with new energy efficient fittings.

As a result of these new energy efficient measures Curleys have seen a reduced electrical load by 158,000 kWh’s per years which equates to projected annual savings of circ £12,600. The stores will not only reap the economical benefits but have also reduced their impact on the environment by reducing the stores carbon footprint by 26 tonnes per year.

"This was a natural time for us to look how our business practice impacted on the environment and we are delighted to have joined with Energia and the Carbon Trust in putting new practices into being. We are committed to the efficient use of resources by reducing the amount of energy we use. Supermarket requires," said Stephen Kennedy, Director.
