We would like your views to help us shape the County Council’s new Energy Strategy.

Drawing on the direction set by our Climate Change Strategy, this new document sets out how we will continue to support action on climate change and work towards achieving net zero through the decisions we make about energy.

Once approved, the strategy will provide a clear steer on how we will support the transition to low carbon energy in West Sussex over the next decade, focusing on the following objectives:

  • Sustainable energy - decarbonising local energy by improving the generation and distribution of energy from sustainable sources.
  • Emissions reduction - reducing our emissions and working with other organisations and sectors to support them to achieve their emission reduction targets.
  • Social benefit - ensuring that our energy projects deliver wider, societal benefits for our communities.
  • Local energy resilience – delivering projects that help to ensure that our local energy supply is robust and secure.

By providing your feedback, you will be helping us to make sure that the strategy meets the needs of our residents and communities.

Once approved, the strategy will be underpinned by a detailed delivery plan.

  • As the first stage in the consultation process, we are asking a cross section of subject matter experts within the County Council and our district and borough partners to provide us with initial feedback on the draft strategy. A full public consultation will take place later this year.

    Please read the draft strategy and complete this short survey, providing as much detail as you can in the free text sections. Any additional comments or feedback you may have can be included at the end.
