Business Emissions Saving Scheme

The Business Emissions Saving Scheme (BESS) is an initiative administered by the Isle of Man Department for Enterprise to support businesses in reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

The scheme provides grant funding of up to 75% towards the cost of an energy audit, which identifies opportunities to improve energy efficiency within a commercial building. Following completion of the audit, businesses may be eligible to apply for interest-free loans to implement recommended energy efficiency measures.

Typical improvements identified through an energy audit may include upgrading lighting systems, improving insulation, installing more efficient heating systems, integrating renewable technologies such as solar photovoltaic panels, or implementing smart energy management controls.

3CO Limited supports businesses participating in the scheme by carrying out the required energy audits and building energy assessments, helping organisations identify practical and cost-effective opportunities to reduce energy use and improve building performance.

3CO Limited provides independent advice to businesses participating in the Business Emissions Saving Scheme, ensuring that energy audits and recommended improvements are practical, cost-effective and aligned with wider operational and sustainability objectives.

Through the scheme, businesses can identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption, improve building performance and lower operating costs while contributing to the Isle of Man’s wider climate and energy efficiency goals.

Businesses interested in participating in the scheme can contact 3CO Limited to discuss energy audit requirements and potential energy efficiency improvements.
