Bristol is aiming to share the city’s expertise at delivering decarbonisation projects to neighbouring local authorities and public sector organisations via a new partnership.
Bristol City Council’s Energy Service, which has led the city’s efforts to address the climate emergency, has launched the initiative to support organisations across the South West, with the new Decarbonisation Partnership Framework offering assistance and advice on project development and delivery and simplifying procurement for low-carbon measures and projects.
The Decarbonisation Partnership Service will offer flexible technical and management support to help identify and deliver projects including: access to energy specialists; a variety of services available depending on requirement; and added Social Value; project development and project delivery support services available.
The framework and service have been specifically designed to support public sector organisations capitalise on grant funding from the government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.
Nicola Beech, cabinet member for Climate, Ecology, Energy and Waste, said: “Our Bristol team has delivered over £60 million worth of low carbon energy projects and has a great track record of creating opportunities to decarbonise within the city. This new initiative really excites me as it will allow us to share our knowledge and expertise to support other local authorities and organisations in the public sector with their own efforts to decarbonise.
“Old, inefficient buildings and outdated heating systems are one of the biggest carbon challenges that the public sector faces, so we are pleased to launch this new scheme to support our neighbours so that we can meet the challenge of fighting climate change together. Wherever your organisation is on its journey to net zero, joining the Decarbonisation Partnership will be a significant step in your journey to net zero.”

With the encroaching 2050 Net Zero target set out by the UK Government, there is now a concerted effort by all industries and commercial spaces to meet these targets. This has been further supported by the amended 2035 UK ban on the sale of all new petrol and diesel-powered cars and vans.
