What is the net zero hub?
Home » About Us » What is the Net Zero Hub?

The North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub is part of a national network of Local Net Zero Hubs, funded and directed the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and Great British Energy to help local areas and the communities they serve to develop and deliver the energy projects they need to meet local growth ambitions and national clean energy targets:

  • Supporting publicly owned energy company Great British Energy in identifying and developing potential local and community projects to invest in
  • Supporting delivery of the national Warm Homes Plan.

 

The North East and Yorkshire Net Zero Hub delivers national energy ambitions locally, including:

  • A clean energy system by 2030 (Clean Power Plan)
  • Ensuiring every community has the opportunity to own or participate in a local energy project by 2030 (Local Power Plan)
  • Tripling the number of homes with solar, delivering over 450,000 heat pump installations per year and upgrading up to 5 million homes (Warm Homes Plan).

Our objectives detailed in our current Memorandum of Understanding are as follows:

  • Increasing the readiness of and attracting investment into local energy generation projects
  • Increasing the number of energy generation projects and skills across the region in line with national targets and strategies – including early-stage development
  • Supporting a national knowledge transfer programme to improve information sharing, training and evaluation and building networks and partnerships.

What we deliver is set by government – but how we deliver it is strategically driven in partnership by our region’s six Combined Authorities, overseen by a board of local representatives led by an independent chair.

Our accountable body is the Tees Valley Combined Authority.
