Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme

Phase 4 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme has been launched and will support more public sector bodies to achieve their net zero ambitions.

An additional financial year of funding has been granted for Phase 3c of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.

Phase 3b of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme will allocate up to £635m to the public sector to fund decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures.

Phase 3a of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme has provided £553m in government grants for public sector bodies.

This page has guidance on the areas of PSDS project delivery where we have found projects may encounter risks or issues, along with support on best practices.

Phase 2 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme has provided £75m in government grants focusing on heat decarbonisation.

Phase 1 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme provided £1bn of funding for energy efficiency and heat decarbonisation projects in non-domestic buildings.

Work starts on new Carbon Neutral Energy Centre at Aston University where ground and air source heat pumps will replace university’s gas-fired system and support a low carbon district heating network

Major decarbonisation project at Milton Keynes University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust gathers momentum, thanks to £12.9 million Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme funding.

We visited the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) to explore how it’s embarked on its sustainability journey with support from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.

History meets the future as the Royal Observatory Greenwich embarks on a Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme project to reduce emissions while preserving one of the country’s most significant heritage sites. 

We work with the UK Government to provide funding schemes to enable the public sector and housing to reduce carbon emissions to reach net zero goals.

We work with the Scottish Government providing public sector funding schemes that enable the public sector to reduce carbon emissions to reach net zero targets.

We work with the Welsh Government on public sector funding schemes to enable the public sector to reduce carbon emissions in line with its net zero target.

This guide offers support information for making a high-quality application for funding biomass boilers. 

This guide outlines to outline what supporting information would make a high-quality air-to-air heat pump application.

This guide outlines the key supporting information required to make a high-quality application on various types of heat pumps.

This guidance will outline what supporting information would make a high-quality heat network application. Where heat networks generally involve four main components and processes: heat generation, heat distribution, heat transfer and heat metering
