The energy advice provides insight into making your company and/or fleet more sustainable. The SVM also provides a subsidy to support the implementation of one or more measures from that advice.
TEK scheme is coming
The Energy Cost Contribution for Energy-intensive SMEs (TEK) provides a temporary relief for SMEs whose energy costs are a relatively large part of their total costs. With the help of this concession, energy-intensive SMEs get more breath to future-proof their business model.
TEK is not yet open. Application is expected to be possible no later than the 2nd quarter of 2023, possibly sooner.
Koplopersproject
Je wil energie besparen en de eerste stappen zetten op andere thema’s van duurzaamheid. Wellicht weet je niet precies waar te beginnen, kun je wel een duwtje in de rug gebruiken of wil je weten wat je nog meer zou kunnen doen. In een Koploperproject ga je samen met een groep van 8 tot maximaal 15 mkb’ers uit Limburg aan de slag met duurzaamheid en ontdek je wat dit voor jouw bedrijf kan opleveren. Denk o.a. aan het reduceren van je energieverbruik en van je CO2 Footprint, communiceren over duurzaamheid en voorbereiden op aankomende MVO-rapportageverplichtingen.
Het unieke aan dit project is dat je zowel individueel als gezamenlijk met de andere deelnemers aan de slag gaat met duurzaam ondernemen. Onder deskundige begeleiding doe je gedurende een periode van ongeveer 9 maanden veel inspiratie en nieuwe inzichten op door alle kennis en tools die je vanuit het project mee krijgt. Je leert vooral ook veel van je mede-Koplopers, doordat je plannen en resultaten met elkaar deelt tijdens bijeenkomsten en bedrijfsbezoeken.
