This document provides guidance for public sector bodies on criteria to include in specifications for procuring rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) installations.

The Greater South East Clean Energy Jobs Evidence Base provides an assessment of current and future workforce demand across the region’s clean energy sectors.

Commissioned by GSENZH and delivered by Opergy, the report identifies key growth sectors, workforce challenges, priority occupations and recommendations to support skills planning and delivery of the clean energy transition across the Greater South East.

The Greater South East Net Zero Hub has published new guidance to support public sector organisations in developing and procuring car park solar photovoltaic (PV) canopy projects. The document provides practical advice on business case development, feasibility assessments, procurement, installation, maintenance and monitoring to help maximise renewable energy generation and support net zero ambitions.

This guidance explains how upgrading a building’s electricity supply capacity can affect electricity standing charges and overall energy costs. It highlights the financial implications of moving to half-hourly metering, provides examples of bill impacts, and outlines strategies to minimise costs when planning decarbonisation projects, heat pumps, EV charging infrastructure, and building expansions.

This excel consists of 150 different acronyms used across the clean energy sector and their meanings.
