The funding schemes we deliver enable the public sector to reduce carbon emissions in line with the UK Government’s commitment to becoming net zero by 2050 in Wales.
The programmes provide funding to deliver capital energy efficiency and heat decarbonisation projects within public sector non-domestic buildings, including central Welsh government departments and non-departmental public bodies in Wales. These are open to public sector organisations and for further eligibility information, please view the individual scheme details.

The fund aims to increase capital investment in energy-efficient and low-carbon heating technologies across the public sector. The financial savings delivered by the projects are returned to the fund, allowing further spending on decarbonisation projects, hence the term ‘Recycling Fund’.
The fund has financed hundreds of projects worth more than £8.6m. The average fund has been recycled over 3.5 times. Combined, the Recycling Funds save over 10,289 tonnes of carbon each year.
