Local authorities have set ambitious targets to deliver infrastructure for their local communities in support of net zero and regional and local economic growth. They act as project sponsors, work to crowd-in private investment and invest where there is limited market provision.

The National Wealth Fund provides support and act as a critical friend, helping local authorities understand and navigate the challenges and financing barriers they face in delivering critical infrastructure. They offer impartial advisory services and are currently the lowest cost source of finance for local authorities delivering ambitious infrastructure projects that tackle climate change and support economic growth.
