Councillors will decide whether to give the green light to plans aimed at reducing carbon and energy costs across more public buildings.
Earlier this year, Hull City Council was successful in securing £4,935,960 of funding from the latest round of the government’s Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme, known as Salix 4.
On Monday 24 November, the council’s cabinet will be asked to formally accept the funding and to approve the procurement and delivery process for the scheme.
The scheme is expected to cut the council’s annual energy bill by around £200,000.
If approved, the project will see the various buildings across Hull, including Hull City Hall, Hull History Centre, the Guildhall and the Wilson Centre, benefit from significant energy efficiency and decarbonisation works.
The government-backed project supports the council’s ambition to become carbon neutral by 2030, as detailed within the Carbon Neutral Strategy.
Cllr Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment at the council, said: “This move will save Hull taxpayers money and help make Hull a cleaner, greener place to live.
“The new scheme will help meet our aims and bring energy-saving benefits to both the council and the city.”
