Participating authorities include Blaenau Gwent, Bridgend, Caerphilly, Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Torfaen, and Vale of Glamorgan. The procurement, currently in the planning stage as of 13 November 2024, focuses on environmental protection and aims to facilitate the purchase and installation of PV arrays, battery storage, and EV chargers at affordable costs.
