Re:think Energy is a newly launched £1.5 million renewable energy capital grant scheme aimed at Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs), situated in, or who are benefitting the Rural Regeneration Zone (RRZ) areas of Shropshire, Herefordshire and parts of Worcestershire. 

The scheme will enable SMEs to capitalise on opportunities to install renewable energy technologies as well as provide openings for business within the RRZ through the manufacture, supply and installation of renewable technologies and services.

Kate Millbank the RE:think Energy Manager has recently started in post and is excited about taking the project forward. "The opportunity for businesses within the RRZ to actively take control of their energy needs, reduce fuel bills and carbon emissions is fantastic and is becoming increasingly more necessary with escalating fuel costs, energy insecurity and growing concerns about global climate change. RE:think Energy provides businesses within the RRZ  a ‘not to be missed' opportunity to become more energy independent as well as partake in the growing low carbon economy, firmly establishing themselves and the West Midlands in the UK's low carbon future".

Funded via Advantage West Midlands and managed by Marches Energy Agency, RE:think Energy can offer grants of up to 50% of the capital cost investment of installing renewable energy technologies.
