Summary of request

Your request 

I am seeking information on the total amount of electricity produced within Greater London (e.g., in Gigawatt Hours or Megawatts) and the currently used techniques, such as solar photovoltaic (PV), combined heat and power (CHP), waste-to-energy, and biomass.

Could you kindly share any reports or data showing the amount of electricity generated and the technologies currently in use? If this information is not publicly available, could you please guide me on how to access it?

Our response

The information you have requested is not held by the Greater London Authority (GLA) itself. However, the GLA's London Datastore provides links to public information sources which may provide some or all of the information you require.  Please see in particular: 

You may also find useful information on London's Local Area Energy Planning (LAEP) Data Hub: LAEP DataHub Alpha.  This includes a dataset on planned renewable generation capacity, which you may find helpful: Renewables: Planned Distributed Energy Generation | LAEP DataHub Alpha.
