Dear Hannah Jewell

 

Thank you for your Information Request received 16 January 2023.

 

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, and is
this tariff with Green Energy UK plc, Good Energy Limited or Ecotricity?

 

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 homes owned or managed by the council. If unsure, please state
your provider and tariff.

 

b. Does the council generate and use energy from waste? And if so, what
percentage of the council’s total electricity use is powered by these
energy from waste electricity sources?

 

c. Does the council buy directly from a local renewable electricity source
or have its own renewable electricity sources? 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 electricity generation.

 

 

 

RESPONSE:

 

a. Arun District Council purchase 100% green & renewable electric industry
backed by REGO. Our supplier is SSE.

 

b. No.

 

c. No, the Civic Centre building has an array of PV on the roof.  This
generates about 0.006% of total consumption.

 

 

 

 

If you are dissatisfied with the way your request for information has been
handled, you can write asking for a review of the Council’s response,
within the next two months, to the Information Management Team at: Arun
District Council, Arun Civic Centre, Maltravers Road, Littlehampton, West
Sussex, BN17 5LF (email [1][Arun District Council request email]).

 

If, having exhausted our review procedure, you remain dissatisfied with
the handling of your request or complaint, you will have a right to appeal
to the Information Commissioner at: The Information Commissioner's Office,
Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF (telephone: 0303
123 1113; website [2]www.ico.org.uk).  There is no charge for making an
appeal.

 

Yours sincerely,
