Industrial & Commercial Sector

The IETF is looking to fund a diverse range of projects within the private industrial sector, but will only fund those that would otherwise not be possible without the financial support of this fund.

This criteria can make the application process quite complex, but Vital would assist with your application throughout, ensuring that all key data is included to substantiate the energy efficiencies claimed and prove the necessity of funding. We have vast experience in recommending the most efficient combination of renewable technologies and energy savings, providing bespoke solutions for all our clients.

We are experts in Heat Pump projects for large-scale industrial and commercial clients, including the UK’s largest water source heat pump at Queen’s Quay.

For more information on our experience with Heat Pumps, you can visit the dedicated Heat Pumps section of our website.

The Government have provided a list of SIC codes (Standard Industry Classification), which your business must currently operate under.

Some sectors have been expanded on compared to previous phases, such as textile renting facilities, controlled environmental horticulture activities and industrial laundries. However, coal mining has been removed from the Mining and Quarrying list of eligible categories. We are able to assist businesses in all qualifying categories.

There are also some eligibility caveats within these SIC code categories, but again, Vital can help navigate through this. For example, it might be that your parent company category doesn’t fall under one of these codes but your site is a data centre and therefore would.

If your business has industrial sites in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, you may be eligible providing your business meets the other eligibility criteria. We can investigate this further with you.

Businesses that are based in Scotland and don’t have industrial sites in any of these locations may be eligible for SIETF funding, which we’re also able to help with.
