Purpose

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.

Content

To extend the electricity supply contract for
