HIE Green grant fund

HIE's Green Grant Fund aims to support businesses and social enterprises across the Highlands and Islands to transition to net zero.

The funding is a non-repayable grant of up to £250,000, which will cover between 10% and 40% of the total cost of a project. The minimum grant award is £20,000. Projects with a total cost of £50,000 or less are therefore unlikely to be eligible.

Projects can include anything that helps businesses and social enterprises to reduce carbon emissions and make progress towards achieving net zero, for example through energy efficiency measures, renewables, or waste management.

HIE will prioritise projects based in remote and rural areas where applicants may be eligible for up to 50% funding.

HIE’s contribution to projects will be based on the financial need of the business or social enterprise. Applicants will be required to provide financial information on request to allow an assessment to be made.
