Transport for Greater Manchester (TfGM) is the local government body tasked with implementing the region’s transport strategy and commitments. With a forward-thinking approach to sustainability, TfGM is dedicated to fostering a cleaner, greener, and healthier environment for the community. Through the development of Greater Manchester’s Low Emission Strategy and Air Quality Action Plan, they are setting the stage for a sustainable future.

Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme

Transport for Greater Manchester was one of 15 beneficiaries of a £78 million grant from the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme awarded to Greater Manchester to support energy efficiency upgrades to more than 150 public buildings across the city-region.

Renewable design and project management

TfGM used the funding to engage Zenergi to consult, design, project manage and implement renewable energy and energy-efficient technology across eight sites.

The project involved the installation of new Air Source Heat Pump (ASHP) systems for heating and domestic hot water across several sites, including its 9-storey head office.

A Building Energy Management System (BEMS) upgrade was installed, linking back to a front-end system at head office, to enable better control and energy monitoring purposes across all sites.

Solar PV was installed across all sites, totalling in the region of 530kW, with battery storage on the larger Trafford Depot, enabling TfGM to lower its electricity costs, and future-proof by reducing its reliance on the grid.
