Climate change - local Initiatives

Your council is concerned about climate change and the environment. We know that every aspect of our energy usage needs to be made as efficient as possible. We are taking action to make sure that this is the case. Action Surrey Action Surrey offers advice to residents, schools and businesses on how to reduce energy and water consumption. They also manage a network of trusted, local and experienced installers who can install insulation, replace boilers and are experts in solar and other microgeneration technology. Carbon Trust In 2005 we became part of the Carbon Trusts’ Local Authority Carbon Management Programme. This involved consultation and guidance as well as technical support from the Carbon Trust to help realise carbon emissions savings. Specifically it focuses on reducing the emissions under the direct control of the council, such as from buildings, fleet vehicles, street lighting and landfill sites. Salix An offshoot of the Carbon Management Program and set up by the Carbon Trust to provide matched funding to local government, the NHS and higher education institutions for investment in energy efficiency projects. A fund is allocated to help with projects that will have a payback period of around five years. A project to install a CHP or combined heat and power plant to provide for the needs of the council offices and the Spelthorne Leisure Centre is also underway. South East Climate Change Partnership The Partnership was established by a range of public, private and voluntary sector organisations across the south east. They aim to investigate, inform and advise on the impacts of climate change in the region. More information about SECCP is available on their website here (external website) Grants Our grants page contains details of financial support available for people interested in improving the energy efficiency of their home or business.
