Liverpool Council budgeting £16m extra for electricity contract after series of disasters

Liverpool Council is budgeting to pay an extra £16 million for a new electricity deal after a series of high profile mistakes.

Details have now appeared on an official contract register concerning the council's new electricity deal, which comes after a catalogue of errors were reported last month.

Liverpool Council previously had a contract in place with Scottish Power for electricity, which ran from June 2018 until May of this year. The deal concerned the supply for the council's own buildings and estate as well as the city's maintained schools and the fire service. The council had an option to extend the deal for another year until next May.
