You can apply for a grant of between £500 and £15,000 to cover between 30% and 60% of eligible capital costs of purchase and installation. The amount of grant you can apply for varies depending on the items you are looking to buy. Full details can be found in the Grant Guidance for Applicants (pdf).
This is a grant and does not need to be repaid. However, Green Business Grants are paid on defrayal, this means if you are successful in securing a grant, you must purchase and complete your project before claiming the funding you have been awarded. You should aim to do this within a 6 month claim window, although this can be extended in exceptional circumstances.
You must:
Have a trading address in the Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol or South Gloucestershire local authority areas. 
Be able to provide suitable match funding for your project (required match is currently under review). 
Be a legal entity such as a limited company, limited liability partnership, co-operative or registered charity. 
Be a small or medium sized enterprise (SME), this means you must not employ more than 249 people. 
Have had an independent energy or carbon assessment done that recommends the project you are applying for grant for.
