Crown loans
Government organisations wanting to implement energy efficiency and renewable energy projects sometimes face funding issues. We can help with loans for implementing energy projects with good demonstration value, that would not otherwise go ahead.
Crown Energy Efficiency Loans are available to government departments, district health boards, Crown owned companies, territorial authorities, regional councils, universities, polytechnics and public and integrated schools.
Types of projects funded recently include:
- Energy efficient space heating
- Installation of wood-chip boiler to dry sewerage sludge
- Energy efficient lighting.
Criteria
All applications are evaluated against one another according to the following criteria:
- Payback period
- CO2 emission reductions
- How much energy the project saves or is displaced by renewable energy
- Ability of the project to be a demonstration site for other government bodies, communities, and within the private sector
- Co-benefits, such as improving air quality or industry development.
How to apply
There are two Crown loan funding rounds each year. Each funding round will be notified on this website and on the Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS).
It is anticipated that the next funding round will close in May 2010.
