Decision published: 28/09/2023
Effective from: 27/09/2023
Decision:
York has been allocated £5.1m from the
UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) to implement the investment plan
that was agreed by DLUHC in January 2023. In October 2022, CYC
Executive gave delegated authority to the Corporate Director of
Place to implement this Investment Plan, in consultation with the
relevant Executive Members and the York UKSPF Partnership
Board.
York’s UKSPF Partnership Board considered that the need to
provide sound advice to residents on how to reduce their energy
bills through efficiency measures has been heighted and decided to
allocate £118,200 to York Community Energy (YCE) in the SPF
Investment Plan, under the intervention ‘community measures
to reduce the cost of living’. YCE provide free energy advice
and support to York households, along with installing energy-saving
measures to those on low incomes, aged 65 or over or experiencing
long-term physical or mental health conditions.
YCE received funding to carry out activities within the 22/23
financial year, with an underspend enabling them to carry on
activities in their second year of delivery. Second- and third-year
funding was paused until after the May 2023 local elections, and
the York SPF Partnership Board and Executive Member have since
indicated that they wish to continue with this project. CYC
officers have worked to ensure that this project with YCE works in
conjunction with DESNZ Local Energy Advice Demonstrator (LEAD)
project, which focuses on conservation areas and traveller sites in
York, so that support to residents to take-up energy efficiency
measures is maximized. The decision concerns the release the
remaining UKSPF funding to YCE.
Decision: To allocate a total of £118,200 to York Community
Energy for York SPF intervention E13.
