Notice Information

Notice Title

Model for Climate Investment

Notice Description

Glasgow City Council (the Council) has an ambition for Glasgow to become a net zero carbon city by 2030, addressing climate change, fuel poverty, and public health.

The proposed DV will focus on decarbonizing heat and retrofitting and connecting public sector buildings by delivering the Council's Local Heat and Energy Efficiency Strategy (LHEES). The CIV is intended to be complementary to the DV and will seek to mobilise private sector investment to address funding gaps and facilitate the delivery of wider net carbon zero projects.
