SEEF 2020/21 is now closed
Salix, in partnership with the Department for Education (DfE), works to reduce energy usage in individual academies, sixth form colleges, free schools, and Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs) across England. Through the installation of energy-efficient technologies, academies can lower energy bills and create a more comfortable learning environment.
Salix Energy Efficiency Funding is available for all individual academies, academy sixth forms, free schools, and those in Multi-Academy Trusts (MATs).
Benefits
- Reduce energy bills.
- Improve the learning environment for both staff and pupils.
- No upfront cost - the interest-free funding is paid and repaid to the DfE based upon the predicted energy savings.
- SEEF repayments returning to the DfE are recycled to fund further projects in the public-sector.
Funding Criteria for 2020/21
- Each applicant may submit one application, which can consist of multiple projects. Multi-Academy Trusts can submit one application for each academy within the trust.
