Efficient thinking…
The Carbon Reduction One Stop Shop (CROSS) Funding Partnership is an exciting new partnership designed to assist local authorities (LAs) and registered social landlords (RSLs) in their fight against climate change through revolutionising their energy efficiency efforts.
The CROSS Funding Partnership provides an easy route for LAs and RSLs to access the highest possible funding available through the government‘s Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) to finance energy efficiency work in social housing.
The CROSS Funding Partnership brings together LAs and RSLs from across Great Britain to generate substantial economies of scale in securing funding from energy suppliers via their Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT) commitments, thus helping to drive down the cost of carbon reduction works.
Accredited by the Local Government Association (LGA) and managed by experienced energy consultancy Enact Energy Management Limited (Enact), the partnership has support from a wide range of government and industry bodies.
The CROSS Funding Partnership unifies energy suppliers, local authorities, registered social landlords and government organisations to achieve a united goal: to reduce CO2 emissions for a cleaner, greener Britain.
Carefully developed to make it simple for LAs and RSLs to meet their Decent Homes, climate change and fuel poverty targets, the CROSS Funding Partnership also provides energy suppliers with a simple process through which to generate large volumes of CO2 savings towards their CERT targets.
