Wood Energy Business Scheme

1. What is the scheme?

The Wood Energy Business Scheme 2 (WEBS 2) is a £17 million pound capital grant scheme which draws down its funding from European ERDF funds via the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO), and will run until 2013.

Three types of project are eligible for grant support:

Wood fuel heating schemes;
Small scale electricity generation using wood [Combined Heat and Power (CHP)]; and Wood fuel supply businesses.
WEBS 2 will build upon the achievements of WEBS Objective 1 and 2 (2004/08). Its prime aim is to provide capital grant support to micro-businesses, SMEs and social enterprises to further develop the sustainable and renewable wood heat market across Wales.
