Conclusion
The main source of funding currently available to help public sector bodies implement decarbonisation measures is the Public Sector Decarbonisation Fund, which will be distributing £1.425 billion of grant funding across the sector for the current spending review period.41 We were encouraged to hear that BEIS has been using data from earlier projects to assess how best to divide funding between energy efficiency measures, such as insulation, and decarbonisation measures such as replacing boilers with electric heat pumps.42 However, we are not sure how much this has contributed to better targeting of the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme as funding is being distributed on a first- come-first-served basis.43 We also note that BEIS has yet to decide how it will monitor and evaluate the scheme to ensure that it has achieved value for money.44
