Phase 2 of the UK Government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme has been announced to support public sector organisations in tackling heat decarbonisation of their estates.

A total of £75 million in funding will be available to support projects which install low carbon heating solutions at sites using a fossil-fuelled heating system which is coming to the end of its useful life.

Organisations that can apply include:

• Central government departments and their arm’s length bodies (set out in the list of departments, agencies and public bodies as published on .GOV.UK). For central government departments where their roles are reserved (i.e. not devolved to Scottish or Welsh Governments or the Northern Ireland Executive), funding may be used for estates located anywhere within the UK
• Emergency services
• Institutions of further and higher education
• Local authorities
• Maintained schools within the state education system, including academies, Multi-Academy Trusts and free schools
• Nursery schools maintained by a local authority
• NHS Trusts and Foundation Trusts

Grants of up to £5 million per project are available.

The scheme, which is being delivered by Salix, will open to applications on the 7th April 2021 and will close when sufficient high-quality applicants have been submitted.
