Exeter Wins Funding to Help Create More Renewable Energy in the City
19.12.24
Exeter City Council has been awarded funding to explore new opportunities for solar PV on its buildings in Exeter to further lower its carbon footprint.
Exeter is among several local authorities to be awarded a Project Development Grant, and successfully secured £100,000 from the Government-funded South West Net Zero Hub.
It will enable completion of further technical investigations on Council-owned buildings where the business case and feasibility for solar PV has been established.
This will allow the Council to further expand solar PV generation across its corporate buildings, to reduce carbon emissions and provide a sustainable energy supply to support services from leisure centres to car parks and office accommodation.
How is this helping Devon reach net-zero?
