To help people better understand what their council is doing to participate in the energy transition we've issued Freedom of Information requests to all 32 councils in Scotland. In particular we will be looking at how much renewable electricity or revenue they generate from their properties.

We'll do this every year and construct a league table to figure out who's doing what.

While we're waiting for replies, here's a list of all 32 councils in Scotland with their (approx) populations. We look forward to adding more information soon.
