Schools and Hospitals to Benefit from £180M Solar Investment
Hundreds of schools and hospitals across the UK will receive funds from a £180 million investment for solar panels from the government’s newly established state-owned energy company. This marks the first major initiative from Great British Energy, announced on Friday as part of the UK’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions and tackling climate change.
This investment is a win for both sectors, helping to lower energy costs while promoting sustainability. If managed effectively, it will provide long-term savings and energy security for schools and healthcare facilities nationwide.
We hope this is just the beginning of many similar initiatives supporting both public and private sectors in transitioning to greener energy solutions. The government’s move highlights a growing commitment to combat climate change—a cause that we at Peak Governance are passionate about.
