the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ). In
awarding the grants, Salix have set a deadline for acceptance of 29
April 2024, beyond which the grant offer is not guaranteed to be
maintained. Therefore it would not be possible to delay a proposed
decision to accept the grant award until the next meeting of

1. Authorise the Council to accept Public
Sector
Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS3c) grants of up
to
£12.9m from Department for Energy
Security and Net
Zero (DESNZ) and sign the relevant and
