Powering the Retrofit Revolution Locally

12pm – 1pm 10 December 2025 Online

This installment of the Local Net Zero Series focuses on the critical role of retrofitting in delivering net-zero outcomes at the local level. It builds on earlier sessions addressing technology in local net-zero planning, funding, and skills.

Accelerating retrofit delivery across the UK's housing stock is one of the most critical levers to cut emissions and improve living standards. From insulation and heat pump installations to smart heating controls, retrofit encompasses the full spectrum of technologies needed to decarbonise our homes.

Local authorities are uniquely positioned to drive the retrofit revolution – but they need the right tools, partnerships, and support. This webinar explores how targeted technology, innovative funding models, and cross-sector collaboration can scale up retrofit activity to boost energy efficiency, lower costs, and reduce emissions across communities.

Agenda Highlights:

Success stories from councils driving retrofit projects
Innovative financing—green bonds, public-private models, and more
Bridging digital and sustainability skills gaps in local teams
Policy levers to make retrofit mainstream—insights from government and industry
