Thank you for your request.
Energy consumption, demand, and generation:
Unfortunately, in order to comply with your request for information on energy consumption, demand, and generation for the Isles of Scilly, we would need to create analysis, as we only produce these figures at a UK and country level. Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, Public Authorities are not obligated to create information in order to respond to requests. We therefore consider this to be information not held.
Electrical grid system and renewable energy sources:
We do not collect information on the electric grid system and amounts of energy generated across wind, tidal, wave and solar sources. Therefore, we are unable to provide this in response to your request. The Department for Business, Energy and Industry Strategy (BEIS) may be better placed to answer this part of your request. They can be contacted via email at foi.requests@beis.gov.uk.
It may also be worth contacting the Local Authority for the Isles of Scilly to see if they can help at all.
