I would be very grateful if you would provide me with answers for the following questions regarding your carbon goals and printer agreements through the organisation:

1. What is the current average energy charge within the organisation (kW hour)?
We would withhold this information under Section 43 of the Act (Commercial Interests). We cannot provide sensitive details as to our contracted rate as this will allow for an unfair advantage to competitors. This would impact on our ability to negotiate and consider the tender applications in a fair manner. It would not be in the Public Interest in releasing the information as to do so would hinder the Council in achieving the best value of public monies being spent. Therefore the exemption outweighs the public interest and the exemption applies.

2. What Carbon reduction goals are in place within the organisation?
A full list of the carbon reduction goals specifically for the organisation can be found in section 10 (pages 110 – 119) of our wider climate emergency action plan (CEAP). This can be found at the following site: https://www.wokingham.gov.uk/climate-emergency
