All of Trinity House’s capital expenditure programmes are funded through the General Lighthouse Fund and are set out in their corporate plans, which cover rolling five-year periods and are updated and approved annually. The most recent Trinity House corporate plan (2026-31) sets out capital expenditure of £44.8 million over the five-year period, which includes spending on programmes which support decarbonisation.
