Every Church of England diocese now operates a Net Zero plan running to the 2030 General Synod commitment. The fifteen dioceses below have published structured parish-level capital programmes for solar PV — combining diocesan grants with the national Buildings for Mission scheme, Listed Places of Worship VAT reimbursement, and charitable trust funding to typically deliver 50–100% capex cover.
