What is the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS)?

The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme gives central government and local authorities in England a major opportunity to decarbonise public sector non-domestic buildings by installing low-carbon solutions. The PSDS Grant Scheme is run by Salix for BEIS.

The purpose of the scheme is to help make eligible buildings more energy efficient and install low-carbon heating systems like heat pumps, heating controls, glazing and insulation. Eligible bodies can apply for funding on the Salix website.

Public Sector low-carbon Skills Fund

The PSDS scheme is also supported by the Public Sector low-carbon Skills Fund, which provides grants to help organisations source specialist and expert advice to identify and develop heat decarbonisation projects.

The aim is to open the scheme up to public sector bodies without sufficient in-house expertise and help them to prepare a robust application for the grant funding.
