[QUOTE="Netherfield, post: 7281168, member: 6536"] [SIZE=6][B]Kirklees Council’s buildings and street lights will be powered by green energy from April 2021[/B][/SIZE] We declared a climate emergency in 2019 and have now arranged for our energy supplier to switch our corporate electricity supply to a green electricity tariff for the remaining 2 years of the current contract, which will last until April 2023. ‘Green electricity’ means that our electricity supplies will be generated from entirely renewable sources. The impact of using green energy in their buildings, street lights, and schools is expected to reduce the district’s carbon usage by around 17, 250 tonnes which are enough CO2 to fill 3450 hot air balloons. Once the contract ends, the council will look to secure another green energy contract to help contribute to its pledge to be carbon neutral by 2038. Cllr Shabir Pandor, Leader of Council said: Cllr Naheed Mather, Cabinet Member for Greener Kirklees said: Changing to green energy is just the start of our plan to reduce carbon emissions. If everyone does their bit we can all help save energy and money. Just remembering to turn off lights in empty rooms, switching to energy-saving lightbulbs, turning appliances off standby, and washing clothes at 30 degrees can make a real difference. And, when your energy contracts are up for renewal it might be worth considering switching to a green energy tariff as well. I can't figure out they filter out the non-rewable electricity from the renewable. [/QUOTE]
