Notice Title

Yate Town Council Supply of Gas and Electric to Town Council Properties

Notice Description

Yate Town Council reaches the end of an agreement with its current gas and electric provider in March 2027 and is releasing an opportunity to tender for providers of these utilities for a new 3-year agreement. The Council made a Climate Emergency Declaration in February 2020, as part of this commitment, the council require their energy supply to be certified as 100% from traceable renewable sources where investment in developing renewable capacity is prioritised, and all energy is certified with traceable certification. We recognise that some organisations are working towards green gas and currently operate by offsetting production. Such supplies will be considered but will be expected to provide information about the percentage of the gas supplied is green gas, and their plans for investing in increasing green gas innovation. Yate Town Council require suppliers to disclose the mix of fuels (coal, gas, nuclear, renewable, and other) used to generate the energy supplied. If your supply is offset solely, or in part, by renewable energy certification, you should state this information, including the certification type, in your submission. If a company cannot certify its renewable supply, tenders will be considered, providing the company provides transparency in its energy sourcing and can demonstrate the extent to which it departs from these provisions and the steps it is taking to achieve zero carbon or net zero carbon energy production, to enable the evaluation of its green commitment.
