The East Devon Carbon Action Programme (CAP) is a free package of support for businesses and community organisations looking to increase profit while reducing their carbon footprint. Free one to one support will help organisations understand and measure carbon emissions. Specialists will then provide a tailored carbon action plan to identify straightforward actions to cut energy use, reduce waste and transition to a low carbon future.
The support package for businesses and community organisations in East Devon includes four types of support which participants can pick and choose from:
- Free training sessions, workshops and access to online tools
- Free access to a one-to-one support coordinator
- Free carbon surveys and action plans
- Grants to help purchase decarbonisation equipment (solar PV, LED lighting, etc), available from Autumn 2024
The programme has been designed to accommodate time-poor businesses and community organisations, with a focus on cutting costs as well as carbon.
This programme will be active from May 2024 until at least the end of April 2025.
Organisations taking part in the programme will then be able to apply to a carbon action grant scheme to help pay for decarbonisation equipment or projects recommended by their carbon action plan.
