More than £11m is to be invested in seven green energy projects, spread across all six of the City Region’s local authorities.
The projects will provide additional low-carbon electrical capacity in areas where electricity demand is expected to grow, providing the infrastructure required to support the Liverpool City Region’s drive to become net zero carbon by 2040, as well as accelerating our green economic recovery, especially as the UK prepares to host the UN’s COP26 climate change summit in Glasgow this November.
The investment will support a variety of projects, providing additional electrical capacity for electric vehicles, regeneration projects and new housing developments.
Funding for the projects comes from OFGEM’s Green Recovery Investment Fund and the projects will be delivered by SP Energy Networks, the distribution network owner for the North West.
Martin Land, from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority’s energy team, said
“This announcement of green recovery investment is an important step in moving Liverpool City Region forward with our transition to a greener energy system. Our regional development plans and net zero journey go hand in hand.
“We are delighted that OFGEM have confirmed the investment in enhancing electrical infrastructure across the Liverpool City Region, and that working collaboratively with Scottish Power Energy Networks (SPEN) we have been able to secure support for projects in each of our six Local Authority areas.”
The following projects will receive network investment:
