The Council has secured funding from the GMCA / DESNZ Local Net Zero Accelerator programme, to implement an Oldham Green New Deal Delivery Partnership.
The Delivery Partnership will include key organisations from the private sector, the Oldham Partnership, the Greater Manchester Combined Authority and Electricity North West.
The project will focus on delivering the £5.6bn of low-carbon infrastructure Oldham needs to get to Net Zero, which is set out in Oldham’s Local Area Energy Plan.
The Delivery Partnership initiative also aims to roll out the Community Led Energy Planning approach, piloted in Westwood and Sholver under the Oldham Energy Futures project.
This ensures that the low carbon transition in Oldham is community-led, and driven by the priorities of Oldham residents and businesses.
