An extraordinary meeting of the Finance and Resources select committee is being held on Wednesday 18 May to scrutinise a Cabinet report about increased energy costs for Liverpool City Council.
Earlier this month, the Cabinet agreed to transfer to a new electricity supplier, Crown Commercial Services, while a search gets under way for a new longer-term electricity and gas supplier.
This is because the council’s existing energy supplier, Scottish Power, is no longer supplying commercial customers – meaning a previous Cabinet decision in March to extend their contract cannot be implemented.
International accountancy firm Mazars have been instructed to carry out a full investigation and their report will be completed by the end of May, with the findings made public.
The meeting starts at 6pm – you can watch proceedings online at https://councillors.liverpool.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=1726&MId=19688 and follow the meeting on the council’s Twitter feed @lpoolcouncil
