This scheme is open to public sector organisations in Wales, including local authorities, schools, universities, colleges and emergency services.

The Wales Funding Programme is the title scheme hosted by Salix Finance on behalf of Welsh Government, providing loan funding for energy efficiency and decarbonisation projects for public sector bodies registered in Wales.

Invest to Save is a separate scheme within the Wales Funding Programme, available for public sector bodies without borrowing powers such as health boards. Invest to Save funding is therefore provided interest-free. The funds are awarded and administered by Welsh Government. However, the application process is streamlined into one, following the typical route for Wales Funding Programme applicants.

For more details please use the guidance notes and check the ‘How to apply' page.

Rhaglen Ariannu Cymru yw’r cynllun teitl a gynhelir gan Salix Finance ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru, sydd yn darparu cyllid benthyciad ar gyfer prosiectau effeithlonrwydd ynni a datgarboneiddio i gyrff sector cyhoeddus sydd wedi'u cofrestru yng Nghymru.

Mae Buddsoddi i Arbed yn gynllun ar wahân o fewn Rhaglen Ariannu Cymru, sydd ar gael i gyrff yn y sector cyhoeddus heb bwerau benthyca fel byrddau iechyd. Felly mae cyllid Buddsoddi i Arbed yn cael ei ddarparu yn ddi-log. Mae’r cyllid yn cael ei ddyfarnu a’i weinyddu gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Fodd bynnag, mae'r broses ymgeisio wedi'i symleiddio'n un, gan ddilyn y llwybr arferol ar gyfer ymgeiswyr Rhaglen Ariannu Cymru.
