Phase 2 Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme

The Phase 2 Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme was launched by Salix Finance on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (formerly the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy) in April 2021. The scheme provided £75m of funding for heat decarbonisation projects within public sector non-domestic buildings. Projects were delivered from 2021 to 2022 and the scheme is now closed to applications.  
 
The Phase 2 Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme criteria had a sharpened focus on heat decarbonisation with significant emphasis on heating within buildings, making systems more energy efficient and less damaging to the environment.  All grant recipients were required to install a low carbon heating solution, alongside heat reduction and energy efficiency measures, as part of a ‘whole building’ approach to decarbonisation.

• Phase 2 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme made £75m of grant funding available for the financial year 2021/2022.
• It had a stronger focus on heat decarbonisation than the Phase 1 Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme in order to deliver greater carbon emission reductions.
• It supported the public sector in taking a ‘whole building’ approach when decarbonising their estates.
