£50 million to make schools in Wales more sustainable
The Welsh Government has announced £50 million for schools and £10 million for Further Education colleges to make buildings more energy efficient.
The new funding will help schools and colleges with energy efficiency and decarbonisation priorities. Work being funded includes replacement of roofs, heating and ventilation works introducing efficient low carbon solutions and electrical systems including LED lighting.
Minister for Education and Welsh Language, Jeremy Miles, said: "Wales has made a very strong commitment to being more sustainable and address the climate emergency head on. The funding announced today will enable a comprehensive programme of sustainable improvements for schools and colleges across Wales. It’s important that school buildings support energy reduction and decarbonisation in line with our Net Zero Strategy.
