Issue details

The electricity supply contract for the Council’s larger sites (Half-Hourly supplies), which involves a ‘sleeving’ arrangement (using the Council’s own wind turbines and solar farm to virtually supply Council buildings) was only extended to September 2024, in anticipation of new supply arrangements coming in to effect from October 2024. These new arrangements were the ‘Sleeved Pool’, a much wider sleeving arrangement involving City Leap and other renewable energy generators. The development of these new arrangements has taken longer than anticipated, and will not now be in place by October 2024.
The renewal of the current electricity supply arrangements included an option to call off a further six months for the larger site supply (October 2024 – March 2025) as a contingency in case of delays in the Sleeved Pool development work, which it is now proposed to invoke.
