Please treat this as a Freedom of Information/Environmental Information Regulations request.
I would like information about your council’s electricity sources in relation to climate action for the Council Climate Action Scorecards. This information may be held by an estates department or similar.
In particular, please supply me with information relating to the following questions:
a. Does the council have a 100% renewable green electricity tariff for all of the electricity that the council is directly responsible for?
This includes all electricity that the council is directly responsible for, in council offices and any other buildings leased and managed by the council where the council pays the electricity tariff.
This does not include your heating (unless electric) and/or gas bill. This does not include homes owned or managed by the council. If unsure, please state your provider and tariff.
b. Does the council buy directly from a local renewable electricity source or have its own renewable electricity sources (wind, solar or hydro)? And if so, what percentage of the council's total electricity use is powered by this/these renewable electricity sources?
This includes council owned renewable electricity sources that are located outside of the council area, such as solar farms located further south to maximise energy generation.
For the purpose of this question, electricity generated from waste is not considered renewable energy.
