Welsh Government Energy Service celebrates accelerated progress to net zero Wales in new report
We’re proud to support the launch of the Welsh Government Energy Service’s latest impact report, celebrating another record breaking year of progress towards a net zero Wales.
Local Partnerships delivers value and efficacy for the public purse as an in-house delivery partner. Owned by the public sector, for the public sector, we offer professional services through a public policy lens.
As a strategic delivery partner of the Energy Service, Local Partnerships has been proud to provide commercial and project support across the public and community sectors to unlock funding and accelerate delivery.
Key highlights from this year’s report include:
£107.7m invested in clean energy and energy efficiency
5,656 tonnes CO₂e saved from fleet decarbonisation alone
28.59MW of renewable generation capacity consented
over 1.1 million tonnes CO₂e projected lifetime savings
support delivered to over 300+ public and community organisations

We work with all 22 local authorities in Wales to deliver key Programme for Government commitments, including helping Wales achieve net zero by 2030.
