Phase 3a Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme

Phase 3 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme was launched by Salix on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (formerly the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) in 2021. 

It will provide £1.425b of grant funding over the financial years 2022/2023 to 2024/2025, through multiple application windows for public sector bodies to fund heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures. 

Phase 3a Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme is the first round of this scheme.

The Phase 3a Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme provided £553m in government grants to 160 public sector organisations across the country to install 217 clean heat and energy efficiency projects.

Claiming grant funding for financial year 2023-24: The final opportunity for Phase 3a Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme grant recipients to claim grant funding for financial year 2023-24 is fast approaching.
