Phase 3 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, worth £1.425bn, was launched by Salix on behalf of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero in 2021. The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme provides grants for public sector bodies to fund heat decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures.
For Phase 3c of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, an additional financial year of funding has been granted by the Department. This funding increases the value of the overall funding to the scheme and will enable Phase 3c projects to deliver across two financial years, with up to £230 million available in 2024/25.
The Application Portal for Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Phase 3c was scheduled to open on Tuesday 10 October, 2pm, and we can confirm that this has gone live as expected. It is anticiated that the portal will only open for a short window.
