Green Energy - The Way Forward

LPA Energy has recently awarded two contracts that provide Lancashire County Council with Green Energy for both streetlighting and three locations throughout the County. The streetlighting contract will operate until 2005 enabling the streetlighting for Lancashire County Council to be 100% levy exempt. The renewable energy source that is being used in this contract is wind power.

Three of the largest offices within the County Council, County Hall, Eastcliffe and Winkley House are all on a levy exempt energy contract with the energy provider TXU until 2004. TXU Energy will supply 'Green Energy' by a mix of six renewable sources including wind, energy from waste, landfill gas, hydro, sewage gas and biomes. Kevin Maynard, UPG Energy Manager, recently attended a presentation at County Hall where he presented County Councillor, Mr. Tony Martin, cabinet member for Resources, with a plaque certifying Lancashire County Council's award through their use of these Green Energy contracts.
