Dear Ms Jewell,

Thank you for your request for information. Please find the response to
your query below.

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? -
YES, we have opted for all our electricity to be from green sources.
Other, Total Energies Pure Green Tariff.

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? - NO

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? - The council does not buy energy from local
renewable electricity sources. The council has one array of solar panels
in one of its buildings, it is estimated that it accounts for less than 1%
of the council’s electricity use.

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.

I hope this information is helpful but, if you feel dissatisfied with the
way we have responded to your request, please contact our Monitoring
Officer, Mr Henry Gordon Lennox, to request an internal review
