What is Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) Funding?

The scheme aims to reduce carbon emissions from public sector buildings while enhancing cost-effectiveness.

What Can the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme Be Used For?
With the scheme being designed to fund energy efficiency improvements or heat decarbonisation, some of the ways it can be used include the following:
- Transitioning from fossil fuel-based heating systems to eco-conscious alternatives like heat pumps or solar panels
- Sustainable upgrades such as installing insulation, draught-proofing and adding environmentally friendly lighting
“The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme offers schools and academies vital funding to enhance energy efficiency, cut costs and reduce carbon emissions, supporting sustainable learning environments while contributing to the UK’s net-zero goals.”
