Net Zero Carbon

We are committed to tackling climate change and acknowledge that we have a significant role to play in both further reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions and providing the leadership to encourage residents, businesses and other organisations to take action to cut their own carbon footprint.

Technology has an ever-increasing role to play in addressing these challenges. This Digital Strategy aims to compliment the Authority’s action plan and with further technological breakthroughs over the coming years will greatly assist the Authority in meeting this commitment.

Throughout the five key priority areas of this strategy there are innovative solutions and approaches that will drive this agenda forward and compliment the significant work already undertaken to improve the flexibility and agility of our workforce and estate.

Once example is ‘Smart Metering’ technology which is being extended to ensure timely capture of energy consumption data across our buildings and estate; which is critical for planning, monitoring, and reporting progress towards becoming Net Zero Carbon.
