Description

Leicestershire CAN (Collaborate to Accelerate Net Zero): Demonstrator have been awarded funds by Innovate UK to create an environment for well-planned, deliverable, impactful place-based net zero interventions in Leicestershire, replicable to other local authority (LA) areas. Leicestershire County Council ('the Council') is preparing to procure a Community Energy Pathways (CEP) supplier. The Council would like to consult the market prior to any tender being issued. CEP is a process to identify and develop community energy capacity across Leicestershire, sharing best practice and enabling scalability of new business models.
