A pilot scheme to help schools save money on their energy bills and improve energy efficiency has been launched by London Mayor Sadiq Khan. The Greener Schools initiative permits London boroughs to apply for part of a £2m pot to help schools implement a range of interventions.Boroughs can apply for up to £500,000, with a limit of £100,000 per school. The grants will be match funded by councils.
Speaking at the school, Khan said: "Dozens and dozens of schools will be pilots to see if our target interventions can make a difference in relation to reducing carbon and, importantly, saving bills.He said the government was very interested in the pilot and he hoped it would be rolled out nationally.
"These are examples of green policies saving money, which means rather than money being spent on paying utility bills they can be used on children," Khan added.Water firm's plan to cut storm dischargesM&S Oxford Street plan given government approvalPatient's parents shared fears with staff - court
