The question
How can East Sussex’s small businesses cut their energy bills and make smarter sustainability decisions when they’re short on time, cash and specialist know-how?
East Sussex County Council, with funding from Sussex & Brighton Strategic Authority, wanted practical help rather than generic green advice, reaching all five districts.
What we did
With the energy co-operative BHESCo, we’re running free workshops across the county, full energy audits with costed recommendations, and lighter diagnostics for businesses not yet ready for an audit.
What happened next
The programme opened with free, in-person workshops across the county, including “Take control of your energy costs” with BHESCo’s energy specialists and “Circular Economy for Every Business” from World’s Better.
Businesses can then book a full energy audit, which includes a site visit, a review of their bills and a report with costed savings, or a lighter diagnostic if they’re not ready yet.
Case studies of businesses making changes will follow as the programme runs to March 2027.
