The initiative will see E.ON become the city’s new Strategic Energy Partner, forming an alliance that will build a cleaner and more sustainable city and drive a new green economy that will bring jobs and skills for generations to come.

The partnership is believed to be a first for the UK and will see the two organisations collaborate on revolutionising energy use in the city for the benefit of local communities and the wider economy.

The Council and E.ON will work together to develop ideas and projects for the benefit of Coventry residents.

Projects discussed for delivery by the partnership so far include the creation of a 30MW solar farm, bringing solar power into schools across the city and decarbonisation of a number of Council vehicles and depots.

Work is also intended to include solar energy for public buildings, a push to electrify transport with greater electric vehicle charge point access for residents, and improving energy efficiency across homes and businesses.

Collaborating with a single partner over 15 years will help long-term planning and see a joined-up strategic approach to decarbonisation and social projects across the city. As well as getting on with the current list of projects, the partnership will be engaging with stakeholders across the city over the coming months, including community groups, businesses and industry leaders, to help define the outcomes the strategy needs to deliver.
