What is the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme?

The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) provides grants for public sector bodies to fund energy efficiency and heat decarbonisation measures in public sector buildings such as schools, NHS hospitals and council buildings.

The PSDS supports the aim of reducing emissions from public sector buildings by 75% by 2037, compared to a 2017 baseline, by switching to renewable energy solutions such as air source heat pumps.

At Connections2energy we have successfully upgraded electric supplies for over 50 schools across the UK in order to install renewable energy sources successfully. We look forward to continuing this work with the public sector during 2025, with another 50 schools ready to be upgraded.

Our Business Development Manager, Andrea Naylor says: “It’s been fantastic leading these crucial projects, ensuring public sector buildings have the infrastructure needed for a greener future. With another 50 schools set for upgrades in 2025, we remain committed to supporting net zero plans”

How Connections2energy can help

In most cases, buildings may require an electric upgrade for air source heat pumps to be installed successfully. If your electric supply requires an upgrade, our specialist team will be able to offer advice and make sure your electricity supply is ready for a heat pump.

Connections2energy provides full support and unrivalled experience with advising and delivering public sector projects. We offer a free capacity check service, to ascertain the size of the existing service and assist with any electric upgrades necessary, assisting you on your path to net zero.
