The national Local Net Zero Hubs network recently partnered once again with the Association of Public Service Excellence (APSE) to deliver their annual Big Energy Summit in Birmingham.

The event is designed to showcase best practice ideas for local government clean heat and energy projects, sharing the approaches local authorities are adopting to successfully deliver their local strategies – also a key objective of the Local Net Zero Hubs.

For those not able to attend, the Hubs also produce an annual round-up of all the case studies we heard from across local government, designed to inspire and inform similar projects. This year’s edition – containing details of presentations from our our Regional Project Managers Harry Baross and Dani Jackson, and from authorities including Sheffield, East Riding, Newcastle and York and North Yorkshire can be found below.
