Feasibility Studies - Net Zero Accelerator Programme

Descriptions

LocatED are working in partnership with the Department for Education to deliver a 'proof of concept' feasibility study to explore the commercial viability of a range of decarbonisation interventions. This includes building condition, fabric improvements, adaptation measures, energy efficiency and energy generation - the 'Net Zero Accelerator Programme'. It is envisaged that up to five partners will be selected to develop their proposals in partnership with the DfE and LocatED. The feasibility will determine the potential and appropriate technology for the decarbonisation of a selected batch of existing school sites and unlock savings to deliver a positive return on investment. The aim is that this 'proof of concept' will inform the development of a significant 'Net Zero Accelerator Programme' to decarbonise the wider school estate and achieve the Government's 2050 net zero target. Full details will be made available electronically via contract notice within the next 12 months.
