Nottingham and Nottingham Labour Party are leading the country in the development of Green Energy, the Nottingham Evening Post reported this week.

The city generated four per cent of its own energy from renewable sources and waste in 2006 – more than five times higher than the next best city. The second best city, Coventry, generated just 0.74% of its own energy in 2006. Showing the gulf of leadership Nottingham is taking on our environmental future.

Labour Councillor Katrina Bull, portfolio holder for environment and climate change, said: “Nottingham is leading the UK in a number of key energy areas, particularly through the work of the city council, the Nottingham Energy Partnership (NEP) and Enviroenergy, the city district heating operator.

“As we face years ahead of steep energy price hikes, and certainly an end to cheap energy – we as a city must invest further in generating local, cheap, low-carbon energy to further protect our city’s residents and businesses.

The Nottingham Energy Partnership have set targets of 30% of electricity and 12% or heat to come from renewable sources by 2020.
