Hackney Council Climate Action Plan
Hackney Council is advancing decarbonisation projects, including new heat networks and school heat pumps, to reduce emissions.
Hackney Council's Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee approved a £34.81 million contract in July 2026 for a new heat network in Colville and Britannia. This project, awarded to Supplier A, is expected to reduce lifetime carbon emissions by over 100,000 tonnes and is part of the council's strategy to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040.
Additionally, in July 2025, the Cabinet Procurement and Insourcing Committee discussed a £10.3 million project to install heat pumps in nine schools. This decarbonisation scheme, funded by a £6.6 million government grant and council capital, is expected to be completed by March 2027.
