Projects are envisaged to fall broadly into three categories: • Business models that look to simplify and standardise elements of the investment; or • A new technical tool/solution, such as a platform which provides a standardised method of assessing and displaying potential savings from a portfolio of buildings, or to match potential businesses who want to install energy efficiency with technology providers. • Other innovative solutions to facilitate investment in energy efficiency for SMEs The BASEE competition will be open for applications to Phase 1 between 13th March 2019 and 5:00pm 8th May 2019. The competition will be in two phases with up to £100k per project available in Phase 1 for up to 10 projects where projects will undertake feasibility studies; and up to £1m per project available for piloting of up to 5 Phase 1 projects that successfully progress to Phase 2.
