EDF powers up Scotland's public sector
Under the agreement, EDF will supply 2.6 terawatt hours of electricity to 28,000 sites, including hospitals, schools and universities. The volume of electricity accounts for about 10 per cent of Scotland’s annual electricity consumption. The framework agreement is the outcome of a tender process run by Scottish Procurement, part of the Scottish Government.
As part of the new contract, public sector sites can choose to receive 100 per cent renewable electricity.
