Bristol City Leap: Leading The Way

  • Future Leap and Online (Hybrid) 1-3 Gloucester Road Bristol BS7 8AA United Kingdom (map)

Join us for an update on Bristol’s most ambitious energy initiative – the City Leap Energy Partnership.

City Leap is a long-term partnership between Bristol City Council and a private sector organisation to deliver £1bn green energy investment in Bristol and help us achieve our net zero carbon ambitions. For the citizens of Bristol, City Leap has the potential to deliver a better quality of life by improving the warmth and comfort of homes, improving air quality and creating local jobs in energy and related supply chains.

For the last 18 months, the council has been conducting a procurement exercise to select its future City Leap partner and this event will be an opportunity to hear more about the ambitions, targets and early projects for City Leap, as well as hear directly from representatives from the newly formed partnership with Vattenfall and Ameresco.

Come along for an update on this exciting new decarbonisation initiative and a unique opportunity to put your questions to representatives of the Council and its newly unveiled energy partner.

More information to be announced.

Future Leap offers a spacious, covid-compliant event space with MHVR air conditioning units which take out old air and bring new air in. We also have reduced our capacity so you can be mindful of each other's space. We ask all physical attendees to take a lateral flow test before arriving.
