Dear Hannah

Please find attached response in relation to your request for
information. 

Yours sincerely

Information Governance Officer

Greater London Authority 

Dear Greater London Authority,

Please treat this as a Freedom of Information/Environmental Information
Regulations request.

I would like information about your combined authority’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 combined authority have a 100% renewable green electricity
tariff for all of the electricity that the combined authority is directly
responsible for, and is this tariff with Green Energy UK plc, Good Energy
Limited or Ecotricity?

This includes all electricity that the combined authority is directly
responsible for, in offices and any other buildings leased and managed by
the combined authority where the combined authority pays the electricity
tariff. If unsure, please state your provider and tariff.

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

c. Does the combined authority buy directly from a local renewable
electricity source or have its own renewable electricity sources? And if
so, what percentage of the combined authority's total electricity use is
powered by this/these renewable electricity sources?

This includes combined authority-owned renewable electricity sources that
are located outside of the combined authority area, such as solar farms
located further south to maximise energy generation.

I look forward to hearing from you in due course.

Yours faithfully,

Hannah Jewell, Climate Emergency UK
