Category: Organisational Information & Performance - Police Properties and Estate

Subject: PSNI Electricity and Gas Usage

Request and Answer:

Your request for information has now been considered. In respect of Section 1(1)(a) of the Act we can confirm that the Police Service of Northern Ireland does hold information to which your request relates. The decision has been taken to disclose the following.

Request 
We formally request under the FOI 2000 regulations Act and EIR 2004 regulations Act data you hold, and which is already or will be in the public domain relating to your electricity half-hourly and natural gas supplied portfolio.

For the period November 2024 which was invoiced by the supplier to you in December, we please require disclosure: 

Request 1

For your half-hourly meter portfolio, the grid Electricity kwh's consumed & the £-value spent excl-vat?

Request 2

The natural Gas kwh's consumed & the £-value spent excl-vat?

Answers 1 and 2

Please see table below

Request 3

Please do also indicate if the electricity is classed as being Green or Brown?

Given the cost increases to the residents of each local authority, there is a huge public interest in accountability of ALL public sector energy usage & energy costs across all Local authorities, all Government departments and all publicly funded or linked organisations which fall within freedom of disclosure requests. 

For the avoidance of doubt, because disclosure of energy kwh usages falls firmly within the EIR 2004 regulations, and the costs fall within your normal cost spend disclosure as stated on your public facing website disclosures anyway, then there is nothing which could be considered as a valid ROI exemption nor could claim to be commercially sensitive.

Answer 3

The electricity is classed as being Green.
