Title:
Local Electricity Bill
Details:
Proposer: Councillor Liddy
i... Motion that:
Colchester Borough Council
(i) acknowledges the efforts that it staff have made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote renewable energy;
(ii) recognises that councils can play a central role in creating sustainable communities, particularly through the provision of locally generated renewable electricity;
(iii) further recognises
-
that making these financial costs proportionate to the scale of a renewable electricity supplier’s operation would create significant opportunities for councils to be providers of locally generated renewable electricity directly to local people, businesses and organisations, and
-
that revenues received by councils that became local renewable electricity providers could be used to help fund local greenhouse gas emissions reduction measures and to help improve local services and facilities;
(iv) accordingly resolves to support the Local Electricity Bill, currently supported by a cross-party group of 115 MPs, and which, if made law, would make the setup and running costs of selling renewable electricity to local customers proportionate by establishing a Right to Local Supply; and
(v) further resolves to inform the
-
local media of this decision,
-
local MPs after the General Election, asking them to support the Bill in the new Parliament, and
-
organisers of the campaign for the Bill, Power for People, (at 8 Delancey Passage, Camden, London NW1 7NN or info@powerforpeole.org.uk) expressing support.
