Dear Sam Urquhart

Thank you for your e-mail received 12 February 2009 requesting information about the number of council owned or rented homes that are fitted with solar panels, or passive solar heating technology.

Ann Gravestock in the Resources Department will arrange for the information to be provided to you no later than 12/03/09.

Whilst it is the Council's policy to provide information wherever possible, I need to advise you that there are a number of exemptions under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. These may prevent me from releasing all or some of the information you have asked for. You will, however be informed if this is the case and why.

Yours sincerely

Remi Ahmed
Complaints Officer

Dear Sam

Your request for information about properties with solar panels and
renewable energy has now been considered and the information is enclosed.

You asked:

i) the number of council owned or rented homes that are fitted with
solar panels, or passive solar heating technology - zero.

ii) the number of council properties other than homes that are fitted
with solar panels or passive solar heating technology - 6 all schools

iii) the percentage of the council's energy consumption that is derived
from renewable sources, and details of the suppliers with whom the council
is contracted to provide that energy - 22.4% and EON and EDF are our two
suppliers of energy.

If you need any more information, or if I can be of any further help,
please contact me.

If you are not satisfied with the way that I have dealt with your request
you can make a complaint by writing to the Corporate Complaints Team,
