Newcastle City Council

The City Council has an extensive track record in securing and successfully delivering a wide range of European supported projects including European interventions targeting the environmental and sustainability agenda. Newcastle City Council is one of the first signatories of the EU Covenant of Mayors on Sustainable Energy which commits the council to reducing carbon emissions by at least 20% by 2020.

The City has taken the regional lead on developing financial packages for low carbon retrofits to homes and we have a strong programme to deliver market ready, domestic energy efficiency measures including the use of district heating where appropriate.
