Salix is an independent social enterprise, a not for profit company limited by guarantee. We provide funding for proven technologies which are cost effective in saving CO2 and will enable any further energy saving technologies to work at their best. Salix projects include insulation, lighting and heating upgrades, IT improvements, swimming pool covers, voltage reduction or better boilers. Through a mixture of loans and grants we have engaged with around 500 public sector bodies and to date have funded over 4,000 projects which save energy valued at £85m. Salix Finance only works with UK public sector bodies. • A recycling fund, whereby a public sector body is given match funding for a number of projects. The client can continue to recycle energy savings returned to the fund into more projects, always maintaining the value of the fund at a constant level. Money is returned to Salix only when no more suitable projects can be found. • Loans targeted at specific projects, which when completed repay their costs to Salix from the energy savings.
