The proportion of 100% renewable contracts awarded by the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) under the Dynamic Purchasing System for the Provision of Electricity to Public Sector Bodies is 93%. (representing 25% of the total monetary value of all contracts awarded).

All OGP electricity contracts require suppliers to provide minimum percentages of renewable electricity (45% in 2023, rising to 50% in 2024). In addition to this minimum requirement, in using the OGP arrangement individual Public Sector Bodies can opt to seek bids to contract for 100% renewable electricity.
