Our Projects:
The £20m Green Economy Fund was established in 2018 to support the Scottish Government’s ambitious energy strategy and the UK’s drive to a low-carbon economy. With the growing momentum in the race to net-zero, we as a network provider understand that we have a critical role to play – and crucially, we want to be part of this transition. This isn’t just about green projects; this is about creating and accelerating a green economy.
All the projects we are backing sit within one of the following focus areas:
Transport:
Projects promoting the uptake and infrastructure provision of electric vehicles or other low-carbon solutions.
Heat:
Projects that centre on the provision of affordable low-carbon energy for the communities we serve.
Renewables:
Projects that look at innovative low-carbon solutions, and energy utilisation at a local level.
Education:
Projects focusing on the creation of a low-carbon workforce.
At Strathclyde, we are focused on implementing a new initiative that combines 5G communications technology and smart metering to manage energy usage across residential heat network and homes without existing metering services.
