Salix Energy Efficiency Loans Scheme - applications open

3rd October 2012

The Scheme allows public sector bodies, including Further and Higher Education Institutions, to apply for an interest free loan to finance up to 100% of the costs of energy efficiency projects. Any project put forward is required to meet the Salix Eligibility criteria which are set out in our online application and background notes. 

The loan application process is simple, quick and occurs in two stages: 
• The application, project assessment and commitment to fund from Salix
• The completion of the project with set up of the loan and payment of the money (unless Salix agree to fund on an interim payment basis).
 
Salix are seeking applications for the current round of funding as well as ongoing applications for future funding opportunities. Projects should be completed within a 9 month timeframe after the commitment to fund from Salix. Where projects have to be tendered after the agreement to fund, allowance will be made for this.
This initial tranche of loans will be paid back to Salix by direct debit on a 6 monthly basis over a period of 4 years. 
 
Visit their loans applications page now at: www.salixfinance.co.uk/england-loan-application, or call the SEELS team on 020 3043 8800 to find out more and get your application submitted to us before 31 October 2012.
