Decision:

Acceptance of the supplementary grant funding from the York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority Mayoral Renewables Fund programme for delivery of PV installations on an additional NYC owned building.

Reasons for the decision:

It enables North Yorkshire Council to secure funding in supporting operational decarbonisation, contributing to the operational net zero target; it will fund 100% of the costs of installing solar and Solar PV requires little maintenance and provides a financial payback to the Council, delivering both cash and carbon savings.

Report currently under embargo

Alternative options considered:

The alternative option is to do nothing. This would negatively impact the operational net zero target set by North Yorkshire Council, and not result in the cost savings provided by the solar panels.
