Programmes

LCC helps to promote and encourage engagement in existing programmes in the region and to identify new opportunities to support cleantech businesses and to facilitate the deployment of sustainable solutions.

LCC highlights the following existing programmes:

Capital Hydrogen https://www.capitalhydrogen.co.uk/

Cadent, National Gas Transmission and SGN are working together across the UK to show how their networks can be re-purposed to hydrogen through collaborative research ventures, feasibility studies and pilot programme.

The knowledge gained from these initiatives and working with other stakeholders will be used to inform the Capital Hydrogen Programme. This program is expected to span 15-20 years and focuses on developing hydrogen infrastructure to support cleaner energy solutions.

RE:FIT https://www.london.gov.uk/programmes-strategies/environment-and-climate-change/net-zero-energy/zero-carbon-accelerator/retrofit-accelerator-workplaces

The Mayor of London is launching RE:FIT5 (2025–2029) in January 2026, an improved national framework designed to help public sector organisations decarbonise their buildings efficiently and affordably.  

RE:FIT5 builds on over a decade of success, offering a trusted route to guaranteed energy and carbon savings. This performance-based contracting framework helps public sector organisations to deliver decarbonisation and retrofit projects with guaranteed energy and carbon savings. It supports the aggregation of projects to scale up the impact and build long-term partnerships with service providers.

ReLondon http://relondon.co.uk/

ReLondon is a partnership of the Mayor of London and London’s boroughs to improve waste and resource management in the capital and accelerate our transition to a low carbon circular city. Our mission is to make London a global leader in sustainable ways to live, work and prosper by revolutionising our relationship with stuff and helping London waste less and reuse, repair, share and recycle more.

Better Building Partnership https://www.betterbuildingspartnership.co.uk/

The BBP is a collaboration of leading property owners who are working together to improve the sustainability of commercial buildings.

Enable market transformation through sustainability leadership and collaboration.
Improve professional understanding through knowledge sharing.
Develop common approaches with our members, stimulating the property industry to deliver buildings that perform better.

These aims guide everything we do – from co-creating practical tools with members that deliver real impact, to shaping how the commercial real estate market defines and measures sustainability.

Zero Carbon Accelerator https://zerocarbonaccelerator.london/

The programme offers free technical support to London-based organisations on their decarbonisation journey. The current Zero Carbon Accelerator will run until June 2026.

London Heat Map https://apps.london.gov.uk/heatmap/

The London Heat Map is a tool designed to host existing and proposed heat networks along with contextual datasets to highlight potential future opportunities.

A heat network (or district heating system) is a heating system that supplies heat from a central source (‘energy centre’) to multiple customers and can be fairly local or cover large areas.

The tool is designed to help London boroughs, developers, utilities, investors and the public decarbonise the heating of buildings and contribute to achieving net zero targets.

The platform is managed by the Greater London Authority (GLA).

London Treasury https://londontreasury.org/impact-investment/

We operationally manage and administer the Mayor’s Green Finance Fund that supports public sector bodies with their decarbonation programmes and oversee the GLA’s legacy environmental investments and the Mayor’s Energy Efficiency Fund (MEEF). Our latest partnership project has been working closely with SDCL to develop and launch the exciting new London Edge Fund.

London Energy Efficiency and Decentralised Generation Fund (EDGE Fund) https://londontreasury.org/impact-investment/

Launched in June 2024, London Edge Fund is a £100m fund that invests in projects that can achieve significant reductions in energy usage, greenhouse gas emissions or other pollutants across London.

The fund focuses on efficient and decentralised generation of energy (EDGE) projects in the following areas: healthcare, education, transport, district energy, public sector buildings and digital infrastructure.

London Edge is managed by SDCL, with support from London Treasury. The fund’s investment model involves providing the finance and expertise needed for an entire project cycle, from development to operation.

The project sponsors do not have to provide any upfront capital and this ‘energy-as-a-service’ investment model can be provided as an off-balance sheet solution.

Please do let us know about other programmes that we can help to promote.
