Electricity kwh's consumed and the £-value spent excl-vat - Find a freedom of information request

Request

1. For the period November 2024 which was invoiced by the supplier to you in December, we please require disclosure: -

a) For your half-hourly meter portfolio, the grid Electricity kwh's consumed and the £-value spent excl-vat?

b) The natural Gas kwh's consumed & the £-value spent excl-vat?

c) Please do also indicate if the electricity is classed as being Green or Brown? 

2. Given the cost increases to the residents of each local authority, there is a huge public interest in accountability of ALL public sector energy usage & energy costs across all Local authorities, all Government departments and all publicly funded or linked organisations which fall within freedom of disclosure requests.

For the avoidance of doubt, because disclosure of energy kwh usages falls firmly within the EIR 2004 regulations, and

the costs fall within your normal cost spend disclosure as stated on your public facing website disclosures anyway, then there is nothing which could be considered as a valid ROI exemption nor could claim to be commercially sensitive.
