Government Decarbonisation Scheme Details
In recent weeks, Phase Four of the Government’s Decarbonisation Scheme has been announced with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero confirming that Salix Finance will be the main delivery partner.
Phase Four aims to help more public organisations achieve their net zero goals, with more than £1.1 billion allocated to support projects which deliver the best value for money and the most direct carbon emission reductions.
Guidance notes for Phase 4 will be issued in the summer, with more information available here.
