Criteria

Two-tier criteria
First tier criteria met if the council is running a Solar Streets or equivalent collective energy buying project.

Second tier criteria met if the council is running a Solar Together or equivalent project, such as iChoosr or Make My House Green. Points awarded to any other scheme councils are doing that are on a similar scale to Solar Together.

Clarifications

If the project is being led by the County Council or a combined authority and all other councils in that area are involved too, then all those district councils will be awarded the points.

The project cannot be a trial project.

Marked using data provided by Solar Streets - https://solarstreets.co.uk/ and Solar Together - https://solartogether.co.uk/landing
