Sadiq Khan Unveils £2 Million Greener Schools Energy Pilot

The initiative aims to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions in London schools, with potential for national expansion.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has launched the Greener Schools initiative, a £2 million pilot program to improve energy efficiency in schools.
The scheme allows London boroughs to apply for grants of up to £500,000, with a cap of £100,000 per school, to fund energy-saving measures like insulation, solar panels, and heat pumps.
Councils are required to match the funding, effectively doubling the available investment to £4 million for the pilot phase.
The program is part of Khan's broader goal to make London a net-zero carbon city by 2030 and reduce financial pressures on schools by cutting energy bills.
Khan hopes the pilot, which is being closely observed by the government, will demonstrate effective interventions and inspire a nationwide rollout.
