The Salix Energy Efficiency Fund (SEEF) is a bid-based capital funding programme that launched in 2016 and closed in March 2021 to provide interest free loans to academies and sixth form colleges to undertake capital works to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) funded the programme and Salix Finance administered the application round and the project approvals on behalf of BEIS. The loan payment and repayments are implemented and managed by the Department for Education.

The tables attached show, by constituency and local authority, the number of schools and other education providers that applied to SEEF during the five financial years the fund operated, how many of those were awarded funding, and how many were not awarded funding.

In summary, 1,054 applications in total were made to SEEF, 666 applications were funded, and 388 were not awarded funding.

978 establishments applied for funding through SEEF, 646 were awarded funding, and 332 were not awarded funding.
