The chart below shows how reported project spending has been allocated across eligible green project categories for Suffolk County Council.
Fund projects that help make Suffolk safer, cleaner and more sustainable.
The money invested in the first phase of the Sustainable Suffolk Investment will be used to install energy-efficient upgrades at such council-owned sites to lower carbon emissions from utilities. These are expected to include installation of solar panels and efficient electric heating systems such as heat pumps. The projects are being delivered as part of Suffolk County Council's Climate Emergency Capital Programme and are scheduled to be delivered between April 2026 and March 2027.

All councils in Suffolk have acknowledged the climate emergency, with commitments that include both reducing carbon emissions for their own estates and operations and working with partners across the county and region (including the LEP, Health, Police, and the Public Sector Leaders) towards the aspiration of a net zero Suffolk by 2030.
Suffolk’s Local Authorities have been working together with other organisations locally on county-wide climate change project work since 2007 through the Suffolk Climate Change Partnership (SCCP). Building on this, since 2021 all Suffolk’s public sector organisations have been collaborating on the delivery of the Suffolk Climate Emergency Plan.
