No energy from renewable sources has been produced from these buildings, but the Cabinet Office electricity provider is one of the UK’s leading renewable energy companies, owning 35 wind farms – including two offshore wind farms – and one of the largest operational battery storage units in Europe.
All Department’s buildings have a DEC Certificate - ranging from G to C ratings.
Energy for these buildings has not been purchased through a renewable energy tariff although there will be a significant proportion of renewable energy in the supply. All departments are mandated to purchase their energy via the CCS framework.
Information on carbon produced by all Government Departments is included in the Greening Government Commitment Annual Reports.

To ask the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, how many buildings (a) occupied and (b) used by government departments have a Display Energy Certificate.
The Government does not routinely hold or collect data to identify public buildings that are frequently visited by the public and which require a Display Energy Certificate (DEC) under the Energy Performance of Buildings Regulations. DECs are not required to record information that identifies a building as being occupied or used by a Government Department and frequently visited by the public. Therefore, this Department has not made an assessment of the number of buildings used or occupied by Government Departments that have a DEC.
Data on DECs for buildings occupied by public authorities over a certain size threshold and frequently visited by the public can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistical-data-sets/live-tables-on-energy-performance-of-buildings-certificates (Table DEC1).
