The Borderlands Energy Investment Programme presents an exciting opportunity to accelerate the regions transition to net zero by strategically investing in projects that support carbon reduction, local high value jobs, businesses and skills development and are replicable in other areas of the Borderlands region.   

 

The Borderlands region is already home to a range of energy generating assets across the nuclear and renewables sector. Our homes and businesses draw heavily on energy to heat and power our activity. Due to the nature of our economy and predominantly rural location there are challenges in ensuring this is affordable and resilient as well as a low carbon. For us to meet our aspirations of growing the working age population, business opportunities and productivity and achieve inclusive growth, affordable, resilient, and low carbon energy is critical. ​

​

This Call for Projects process aims to identify suitable projects to be taken forward for inclusion in the Borderlands Energy Investment Programme.
