Those of us running TVBC have been determined to increase the energy efficiency of our estate and make the most of our buildings in terms of generation of green power.
I'm therefore delighted that we have successfully secured funding from the government's Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) for Phase 3b of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS).
We've received £221,871, which is available for heat decarbonisation projects within the public sector, non-domestic buildings.
The secured funds will be used to install solar panels on the roof, energy efficiency measures, change to LED lighting and improve insulation, and upgrade the heating system to one powered by cleaner energy at the council’s Bourne House depot in Romsey.
This is the home of our environmental services team on the Belbins Industrial Estate and from where all our local bin collection and street cleaning come from.
Works funded by the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme aim to be completed by March 2024.
