The Phase 1 PSDS grants were issued in two ways:

Phase 1 PSDS has provided grant funding to the public sector to put in place or update an existing heat decarbonisation plan.
Please see here for our guidance which outlines the key elements that we expect to find in all Heat Decarbonisation Plans. These underpin our quality assurance checks.
To make the process as easy as possible for both grant recipients and Salix Finance, we ask you to complete a checklist to submit with your Heat Decarbonisation Plan. Please see the document and complete your checks.
