The Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS) remains a key pillar of the UK’s strategy to achieve net zero emissions by 2050. Since its launch in 2020, the scheme has allocated billions of funding to public sector organisations, helping them reduce carbon emissions through energy efficiency upgrades and low carbon heating solutions. This can be seen through various projects procured through LHC.
