Table 2 in Appendix B shows that Local Authority ownership is 215MW across 24,440 installations.

Could you please provide a breakdown of these figures by each local authority.

Response

I have enclosed the requested information at Annex A, which breaks down the total number of installations (24,440) and total operational capacity (215 MW) in the ‘Community and Locally Owned Energy in Scotland: 2025 report’, by local authority at the time of your request.
