I am researching solar photovoltaic (PV) development and wish to make the following request under the Freedom of Information Act.
1. On land and building assets that are owned or controlled* by the authority, how much solar PV capacity in kilowatt peak (kWp) has been installed?
(*"controlled" means where the authority has management control of a site's facilities and utilities, such as under a long-term lease)
I would like the response for this to be separated into four categories:
a) Solar PV capacity owned by the authority:
b) Solar PV capacity owned by a community group:
c) Solar PV capacity owned by another party, that is not a community group, where a power purchase agreement (PPA) exists to supply the authority:
d) Any other solar PV capacity owned by another party:
If an exact figure for installed solar PV in kWp cannot be obtained, please make an estimate of a minimum value that is known with confidence. For example, 'estimated - at least 100kWp'.
2. This question asks for information about procurement of solar PV goods and services in the past three years, where a contract has been awarded between 1 January 2023 and the date of this request.
Could you supply me with the following information please:
