8.1 Water
This chapter is split into three sections, covering regional statistics on water, waste and renewable energy from photovoltaic panels (PVs). Statistics for water production and consumption are based on information supplied by the Water Services Corporation. Waste statistics comprise separate waste collection through bring-in sites, civic amenity sites and door-to-door collection, together with municipal waste generation. Statistics on renewable energy from photovoltaic panels (PVs) include data on stock of PV installations, total kWp of grid-connected PVs, peak power rating in kWp and harvesting of renewable energy in GWh from grid-connected PVs.
