1. Overview
The Welsh Government Energy Service helps public sector bodies and community groups in Wales plan and deliver local energy projects. These projects support the transition to a zero carbon economy.
The Energy Service is a four-year programme funded by the Welsh Government. The current programme runs until March 2027.
What we do
We provide technical, commercial and procurement advice to support energy projects from early planning through to delivery.
