I would be grateful if you can assist my research into Local Authorities who generate and export electricity from their own energy. I am particularly looking at utility-scale assets, e.g. solar farms, wind turbines and waste to energy plants, rather than small-scale, behind-the-meter assets (e.g. rooftop solar installations). I’d be grateful if you could answer the following questions:

1. Do you own or operate utility-scale electricity generation assets which export to the grid?
No.

2. If so, what technologies? And are they ‘co-located’? E.g., a solar farm with a battery.
Not applicable

3. How much electricity (in kWh) would you expect to be exported, from each asset, per year? And how much revenue would you expect to earn from the export in FY25/26?
Not applicable

4. When was each asset commissioned?
Not applicable

5. What is the current contractual arrangement to sell the power, to whom is it sold and what is the contract end date?
Not applicable

6. Do you partake in any government subsidy scheme in relation to the electrical output from the asset? E.g. Renewables Obligation Certificates (ROC) or Contracts for Difference (CfD).

7. Does your Local Authority have any plans in place to acquire, build or invest in electricity generation assets in the future? Yes
a) If Yes , what is the:
- Type of Assets (e.g. Solar): Solar Farms
- Estimated Size of the assets in terms of electricity production: 29MWp
- Estimated dates of completion: September 2026
- Organisations that are constructing the assets (if known): Equans
