Phase 3 of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme is providing over £1.425 billion of grant funding over the financial years 2022 to 2023 to 2025 to 2026. It supports the aim of reducing emissions from public sector buildings by 75% by 2037, compared to a 2017 baseline.

Phase 3c has up to £230 million available in 2024 to 2025. We will confirm the budget for 2025 to 2026 though applicants should assume a broadly balanced profile across 2024 to 2025 and 2025 to 2026:

  • Phase 3c closed to new applications in November 2023
  • Phase 3b closed to new applications in October 2022
  • Phase 3a closed to new applications in November 2021

More information about the scheme is available on the Salix Finance website.
