“Sheffield Renewables has been awarded £8,718 from the Northern Powergrid NetZero Community Energy Fund (NHS SY ICB). We will help NHS South Yorkshire Integrated Care Board engage GP surgeries to raise awareness of climate change, energy use reduction and sustainability. This will also support NHS net zero commitments by promoting existing solutions to decarbonise GP practices and the financial benefits of energy transition. In parallel, we will screen Sheffield GP surgeries with NHS SY ICB for solar PV suitability and needs for energy efficiency measures and insulation improvements through retrofit.

    With this project, we will help the NHS implement its net zero goals at a local level and make financial savings. By supporting GP practices and their staff in adopting sustainable measures both at work and in their lives, we will help Sheffield’s sustainability objectives reach deeper into society.
