Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what percentage of the government estate is on a renewable energy tariff.

8.23% of the government estate (Central Government & Arm's-length bodies) electricity volume is on a renewable or renewable blend tariff.

52.2% of the government estate​ ​(Central Government & Arm's-length bodies)​ ​electricity volume is being supplied from a zero carbon (nuclear) tariff.

The Crown Commercial Service (CCS) is developing a route to market to contract directly with generators of renewable power and source an increasing amount of renewable power for the estate demand. The current timetable will see the agreement in place by the end of 2023.
