Decision status: Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Purpose:

The project is for reduction of carbon emissions and energy use at Clutton depot by fitting a full roof of PV panels for on-site renewable energy generation and to store our own electricity. These improvements will give capacity to charge our growing fleet of electric vehicles, increase the amount of renewable energy locally generated and at the same time reduce the Council’s carbon footprint.

Decision:

To fully approve capital amounting to £144k funded from the provisional capital budget: Renewable Energy Development Fund.

Alternative options considered:

Various options were assessed including doing nothing, however the cost of the agreed improvements is expected be less than the future savings on running costs.
