In a bid to make public buildings greener and more energy-efficient, the UK Government has invested heavily in its Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme. This initiative helps schools, hospitals, leisure centres, and other public institutions reduce their carbon footprint through funding for energy-saving solutions like air source heat pumps and solar panels. Recent news shows two schools in Norfolk benefiting from a shared £1.1 million grant to install modern low-carbon systems.
But for many schools, the challenge isn’t just funding—it’s knowing where to start. That’s where we come in.
Wright Renewables, a trusted name in renewable energy installation in Nottinghamshire and beyond, is proud to support schools in navigating the complex funding landscape and choosing the right technologies. We are approved delivery partners for OVO Energy and specialise in Air Source Heat Pumps, Ground Source Heat Pumps, and Solar PV Systems. Our engineers are experienced, vetted, and committed to helping organisations reduce their energy bills and environmental impact.
“Many schools don’t realise they’re eligible for substantial government grants. We want to change that,” says Lee Rolfe, Managing Director at Wright Renewables. “We’ll visit your site, assess your current setup, and walk you through your options—whether it’s solar panels for schools, heat pump retrofits, or combining systems for maximum savings.”
The scheme is backed by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), offering capital funding for projects that lower fossil fuel use in public sector buildings. It covers both equipment and installation costs. In the case of the Norfolk schools, this included replacing an ageing oil boiler—something we see far too often in school buildings across the East Midlands and East of England.
Is your school still running on oil or gas? Replacing outdated systems with renewable heating solutions not only improves sustainability but also helps meet Net Zero targets.
Wright Renewables is based in Worksop and serves schools across Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire, and the East Midlands. As part of the Wright Group of Companies, we bring over 30 years of combined experience in the renewable and commercial building sectors.
Our work is always done on time, on budget, and safely—the way it should be when working with educational institutions.
