The Director of Resources gave authority to
spend and approval to vary the contract with Cenergist Ltd to bring
into scope additional buildings the Council has secured funding for
in the 2022/23 financial year. The variation is in line with the
scope of the existing contract.
This significant operational decision is a direct consequence of a
key decision (D55165) taken to inject capital for the scheme,
details of which can be found at: Council and democracy
(leeds.gov.uk) and therefore exempt from call-in.
The primary focus of the PSDS is conversion to low carbon heating
systems in buildings, but proposals involving this can also be
combined with other energy efficiency measures to reduce
electricity consumption such as solar generation and LED lighting.
As well as ensuring significant carbon savings, the scheme will
provide a stimulus to the energy efficiency and low carbon heat
sector, and represents a significant opportunity to create or
safeguard local employment.
