Why Public Sector Organisations?

The public sector has unique drivers and opportunities for renewable energy.

Net Zero Commitments

Most councils have declared climate emergencies and set net zero targets. On-site renewable energy is essential for decarbonising council estates and operations.

Budget Pressures

Tight council budgets make energy savings critical. Salix Finance provides interest-free loans that repay from savings, delivering improvements with zero net budget impact.

Community Leadership

Councils are expected to lead by example on sustainability. Visible solar installations and public EV charging demonstrate commitment to communities.

Large Estate

Councils typically manage large property portfolios: offices, leisure centres, libraries, depots. Each building offers opportunities for solar and heat pumps.

Fleet Electrification

Council fleets are transitioning to electric. Depot charging infrastructure and public EV charging networks are essential infrastructure investments.

Procurement Compliance

We understand public procurement requirements and can work through appropriate frameworks to support compliant commissioning.

Public Sector Considerations

Multi-Site Programmes

We can assess and install across multiple council sites efficiently. Portfolio approaches enable bulk purchasing, consistent specifications, and streamlined project management.

Community Energy

Support community energy schemes where councils partner with community groups. We can advise on technical specifications and installation for community-owned renewable projects.

Public Scrutiny

Council investments face public scrutiny. We provide detailed documentation, transparent pricing, and robust project management to support governance requirements.

Long-Term Asset Management

Council buildings require long-term planning. We design systems for 25+ year lifespans with clear maintenance requirements and performance guarantees to support asset management.
