This guide provides councils with the necessary tools to investigate alternative electricity generation and/or procurement strategies. It enables councils to make more informed decisions when determining which options are most beneficial to them, in their own specific circumstances, in terms of cost minimisation, emissions reductions, and community benefits. The potential risks involved with each option are also considered. This guide can be used as a resource for procurement staff, sustainability staff, councillors, and executive managers within council, as well as external energy project developers and community energy groups dealing with councils.
