Q1          On land and building assets that are owned or controlled* by the authority, how much solar PV capacity in kilowatt peak (kWp) has been installed?

(*"controlled" means where the authority has management control of a site's facilities and utilities, such as under a long-term lease)

I would like the response for this to be separated into four categories:

•    Solar PV capacity owned by the authority:
•    Solar PV capacity owned by a community group:
•    Solar PV capacity owned by another party, that is not a community group, where a power purchase agreement (PPA) exists to supply the authority:
•    Any other solar PV capacity owned by another party:
•    

If an exact figure for installed solar PV in kWp cannot be obtained, please make an estimate of a minimum value that is known with confidence. For example, “estimated – at least 100kWp”.

Q2          This question asks for information about procurement of solar PV goods and services in the past three years, where a contract has been awarded between 1 January 2023 and the date of this request. Could you supply me with the following information please:
