Will E.ON become city's 'energy partner'?
Nottingham Post
|June 02, 2025
NOTTINGHAM City Council could partner with an organisation like E.ON to “eliminate” most fossil fuel use to help it become carbon neutral.
In 2019, the Labour-run authority declared a climate and ecological emergency and set a target to become the first carbon-neutral city in the UK by 2028.
To become carbon neutral, the exact amount of harmful carbon dioxide (C02) released into the atmosphere must be balanced through absorption or removal. To help it to reach the goal, which the authority is still standing by despite ongoing financial troubles, it is looking for a “strategic energy partner”.
It is taking inspiration from Coventry City Council, which appointed energy firm E.ON as its partner in 2023. The company has also expressed interest in Nottingham. A similar alliance would help provide qualified staff, investment and the quality of bids to get Government funding, the council says.
