The Council has secured funding from the GMCA / DESNZ Local Net Zero Accelerator programme, to implement an Oldham Green New Deal Strategic Energy Partnership.
The Partnership will include an Ecosystem of stakeholders ranging from Oldham residents, communities and businesses and Oldham’s third sector anchor organisations to key regional organisations such as GM Green Economy, GMCA and Electricity North West.
The project will focus on delivering the £5.6bn of low-carbon infrastructure set out in Oldham’s Local Area Energy Plan.
The Partnership initiative also aims to roll out the Community Led Energy Planning approach, piloted in Westwood and Sholver under the Oldham Energy Futures project, which will ensure that the low carbon transition in Oldham is community-led, and driven by the priorities of Oldham residents and businesses.
