Bedford Borough Council (BBC) declared a climate emergency in 2019 and one of its objectives was to buy 100% renewable electricity through energy contracts. It’s short-term target was have 100% green electricity by April 2020.

In November last year, the Council announced that from April 2021 it will be moving to “100% green renewable electricity”.

An investigation by the Cranfield and Marston Vale Chronicle found that the new electricity contract will not provide renewable energy to Bedford Borough. Council owned and operated buildings and street lighting will not be powered by 100% renewable energy on paper.
