Completing your Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme project

It is considered a standard completion where all measures in your project will be completed and are commissioned and operational by the grant end date stated in your Grant Offer Letter. 

The delayed completion process applies where projects are unable to complete fully by the grant end date, and the remaining works will be completed after this date using alternative funding. It is not possible to claim Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme grant funding for any works taking place after the grant end date.

This may include projects where installation of all measures cannot be completed on site by the grant end date, or where all physical installations are completed on site but they are unable to be commissioned and operational at this stage because other factors, outside your control, will prevent you from doing so. 

If your project is not expected to fully complete by the grant end date, we will require a letter signed by your authorising official requesting an extension. This should include the revised expected completion date, details of the value and measures to be installed after the grant end date and confirmation that alternative funding is available to complete your project to the approved scope. All specific conditions included in your Grant Offer Letter must be resolved before you can claim your final grant payment.

Please inform your relationship manager as soon as possible if you expect any delays to completion of your project. Any extension to the practical completion date is not guaranteed and requests will be approved on a case by case basis. 

Unfortunately, if issues such as cost increases, feasibility concerns or delays to the programme are encountered during project delivery and these cannot be resolved, some projects may be abandoned. Please inform your relationship manager of any risks or issues that may impact your ability to deliver the project as soon as possible, so that we can best support you in exploring options to enable your project to proceed. If you should need to abandon your project, your relationship manager will provide further guidance on the abandonment process and the additional information required.

The final date to submit all documents to Salix to claim any remaining 2024-25 Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme funding is Thursday 17 April 2025.  Please note, grant funding cannot move between financial years and any grant award left unclaimed at the end of financial year 2024-25 will be lost.

Please see the 'Requesting final 2024-25 payment from Salix' page for more details, including how to forecast and claim funding during the accruals periods.

Please refer to the webinar slides and end of year letter you should have received, or contact your Salix relationship manager for support.
