22 Energy and Carbon Management Activities Update PDF 100 KB
To consider a report of the Director of Culture, Communities and Business Services with an update on the Carbon Management Plan.
Minutes:
The Panel considered the report of the Director of Culture, Communities and
Business Services providing an update on progress so far with a series of
Energy Programmes (Item 9 in the Minute Book).
Discussion was held regarding the 40% reduction in carbon emissions by 2025 target and whether, taking account of progress to date, this target could be extended. The Panel agreed that an updated proposal be brought to a future meeting following further analysis.
RESOLVED:
a) The positive achievements of the Carbon Management Strategy Phase 2 are noted. This has produced a further reduction of 38.1% against a target of 40% by 2025. This equates to around £30m gross energy cost savings since 2010 for both schools and the County Council.
b) The further £130,000 of carbon tax reductions in Phase 2 is noted.
c) That the good progress in Energy Performance Programmes Phases 4 and 5 is noted.
