Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to know:

2. Total annual spend on OpEx.

3. The total annual energy (gas & electric) operational spend on council managed property assets.

4. And, if time permitting, the percentage of the energy that comes from renewable sources. If possible, I would like this data broken down by financial year for the last five years, with whatever year-end is used internally.
