Salix Finance has issued a series of reminders to eligible organisations to submit applications for funding to the new Digarbon fund by Thursday 8th August 2024 at 2pm.

The Digcarbon scheme is a new mechanism providing £20m of loan funding for further and higher education institutions in Wales. The purpose of Digcarbon is to accelerate to Net Zero through support for the implementation of heat decarbonisation, energy efficiency, renewable, and electric vehicle and electricity vehicle charging infrastructure measures.

The Digcarbon loan funding will be delivered by Salix Finance (the organisation which already administers many of the UK and devolved Government energy schemes). An interest rate of 2.05% will be applied to the loans.

The documents, including Application Form, Counter Fraud documents, Authorising Official document as well as application portal questions, can be found in the Digarbon area of Salix’s website here.

These resources are in addition to the existing information which includes scheme guidance notes, slides, FAQs and Digarbon welcome video.


Since 2005, Energys Group has helped over 1000 cost-conscious schools, academies and colleges to save money and reduce carbon emissions in their drive to Net Zero. We have delivered scores of projects under the Public Sector Decarbonisation Programme – and we are a trusted Framework and delivery partner to many local authorities and Academy Trusts.

For support, advice and help with Digarbon applications – or any aspect of decarbonisation in the education sector – drop us a line – our team will be happy to help.
