… is required to establish exact figures. Further work is now being undertaken to establish the emission reduction potential within the council’s building estate and it is anticipated the first major works will be completed by the end of 2020. 5.5.3 Solar PV The strategy will be to implement solar PV on council-owned buildings wherever viable. Building-mounted Solar PV…
… is the principle way in which the council can generate zero carbon electricity for use in its own buildings. A small number of building-mounted solar PV installations are currently in place which generate electricity equivalent to less than 0.5% per cent of the council’s total electricity consumption. Due to the number of buildings that the council owns and operates, a significant proportion…
… of its electricity could be generated on-site. A high-level desktop study undertaken in the summer of 2018 indicated that there could be the potential to generate the equivalent of one fifth of its total electricity consumption if solar PV installations sized at just 10 per cent of building floor area were installed on each building. Though there are constraints to installation many sites…
… and detailed feasibility is required, the council will endeavour to maximise the potential for solar PV installations across the estate, both on new and existing buildings as it works towards the maximising the proportion of consumed electricity from its own renewable electricity generation. The Welsh Government has set out the ambition for 70 per cent of the electricity consumed in Wales…
