## Description
Summary
London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham Council (the “Council”) is publishing this Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) notice to understand whether there are any organisations in the market, capable of supplying the Council with a “retrofit credits” service: a type of carbon credit for retrofitting social homes. This service would provide the Council with a source of income from selling retrofit credits to buyers of carbon credits.
Background
The Council manages around 17,000 homes and has a target for the borough and the assets under the Council’s control to achieve net zero. This requires retrofitting these homes with energy efficiency measures and low-carbon heating at scale; a mission not fully covered by existing council budgets or government grant funding.
The Council therefore wishes to understand what alternative sources of funding may be available.
This PME seeks responses from suppliers of “retrofit credits”, a form of carbon credit, to understand how well developed the market for these is.
Outline of the Service Being Sought
The service would aim to unlock investment in social housing retrofit projects by verifying emission reductions and social value from these projects and creating carbon credits backed by these reductions to be sold to investors. This service would enable the Council to access funding for retrofit activities that improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions, whilst also generating social value for residents and communities.
Expected Benefits of this Service
Reducing Council Costs of Delivering Retrofit – Generates additional income through the sale of credits, making retrofit projects more economically viable.
Accelerating Delivery of Energy Efficiency – By subsidising the cost of delivery, more homes can be reached, and the Council’s aims around fuel poverty and net zero can be attained sooner.
Social Value and Wider Business Case – As the programmes improve the wellbeing of residents by creating warmer, healthier homes, more of this positive impact is measured and captured through, presenting a stronger business case for investment.
Local Sustainable Economic Partnership – Stimulates demand for green technologies and services locally and fosters relationships with local businesses who may become buyers of the Council’s retrofit credits.
Key Requirements for a Retrofit Credit Service
Accreditation – The service must be accredited under a high-quality carbon standard e.g. the Verified Carbon Standard, or similar level of accreditation.
Specific to Housing Retrofit Projects – The credits must be tailored to housing retrofit projects and measures that improve energy efficiency, and encompass a wide range of housing interventions that reduce energy use and carbon emissions. For instance, these should include any measures that increase the fabric thermal efficiency of a building and replacement of heating systems, lighting and other fixed hardware that reduce energy use.
