Salix funding - further loans scheme announced

Wed, 12/01/2011

Salix has recently launched a further loans scheme, with initial funding of £4.5m, which is to be provided to public sector bodies in England (excluding Central Government Departments, their Agencies and NDPB’s). The Scheme allows public sector bodies to apply for an interest free loan to finance up to 100% of the costs of energy saving projects meeting Salix’s criteria. 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, commencing in March 2012. The funding can be applied for in this current financial year only, ending on 31 March 2011. Applications will be processed on a first come first served basis until all funds are allocated so the sooner an application is made then there is a greater chance of obtaining the required funding. For more information please visit the Salix website
