• Due to increased investment in solar panels, in 2020/21 Wiltshire council generated 450,135 kWh renewable electricity on its own estate, a 39% increase on the previous financial year.​
• Wiltshire Council will invest in renewable energy through the Council Capital Program and Stone Circle Development Company. Three schemes have been submitted for planning consent to deliver homes with air source heat pumps instead of gas boilers, delivering a total of 72 units.​
• Wiltshire Council has procured a new energy contract which has enabled it to offer green electricity to all schools in Wiltshire. 128 schools will be supplied with green electricity from 1 April 2022.​
• Wiltshire Council has set up a programme called ‘Solar Together’ which enables residents of Wiltshire to get high quality solar panels at a lower cost through a bulk buying scheme. To help drive down the price, the council worked with Swindon Borough Council and iChoosr to offer the Solar Together Wiltshire scheme. More than 1,000 residents have paid a deposit to install solar photovoltaic panels and/or battery storage. As of May 2023, the council is on track to deliver more than 700 installations in Wiltshire as part of the Solar Together scheme – totalling more than 5,000 solar panels. A second scheme will be launching in early summer 2023.
• The £12 million project to convert the council street lighting to energy efficient LED lighting is approaching completion. Approximately 95% of the streetlights have been converted so far, with the remaining units being heritage and special units which should be converted in the next few months. This will reduce energy consumption by 64%.
• Air source heat pumps have been installed at three Wiltshire Council leisure sites reducing gas usage by around 6,200 MWh per annum.
• 54 installations of solar photovoltaics at Wiltshire Council leisure sites generated 1,746 MWh of electricity in 2022/23.
• Renewable energy on Wiltshire council property increased by more than five times between 2019/20 and 2022/23 – from 324 MWh to 1,746 MWh.

• The Town Council is switching all Council owned buildings to 100% renewable electricity and gas suppliers by April 2022.
• In December 2022, Corsham Town Council commissioned a consultants company called CO2 Target to carry out an Energy Audit on the Town Hall, Arnold House and Guide Hut to better understand the buildings energy usage and put energy efficient measures in place. ​

• ​Box PC has appointed Beazer Electrical to install solar panels and charging points at the Pavilion to be installed by April 2022.​
• As of January 2022, Box Parish Council will appoint a contractor to carry out an EPC survey Council owned buildings. An EPC survey has been carried out on Box Pavilions.  Following this there will be a review of lighting, heating and hot water systems, insulation, thermostats and timers.​
