G&H Group’s projects division secured the funding by working both directly with multi-academy trusts and in collaboration with building surveyors and energy consultants.

All projects will be delivered by 31 March 2024.

The funding has been supplied by the Government through the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme.

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy launched the PSDS initiative in 2020, to provide grants for public sector bodies and fund decarbonisation and energy efficiency measures.

The project is aimed at helping such bodies to meet the UK Government’s Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions 2050 target.

As well as securing £2.5 million through the PSDS, G&H Group recently secured eight school projects worth £2m through the government’s Condition Improvement Fund.

Established in 1998, G&H Group is a market leading mechanical, electrical, and public health (MEP) provider.

It holds a 180-strong experienced team who design, manage, deliver and maintain every aspect of MEP schemes.
