About
Durham County Council awarded a contract to Guinness Sustainable Schools for the purchase of electricity from solar panels for Shildon Sunnydale Leisure Centre via a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).
The procurement was necessitated by the demolition of the adjacent Academy, requiring the Leisure Centre to retain access to cheaper, greener electricity.
The contract, valued at £250,000, was awarded to a single supplier due to the unique circumstances.
