<p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) commissioned Sustainability Surveys in respect
of its major energy consuming sites in 2011. The surveys considered: photovoltaics,
solar water heating, wind turbines, biomass boilers, ground source heating, micro-hydro
and combined heat and power. Apart from photovoltaics and solar water heating none
of the technologies was considered suitable for further investigation.</p><p> </p><p>
</p><p> </p><p>In the case of the sites where photovoltaics and solar water heating
were considered technically achievable the economic investment and payback period
was not considered viable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CPS also responded to
a central government request for sites potentially suitable for solar panels in 2014
and no sites were considered viable.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The remaining Law Officers
Departments have not made any such assessments. All of them are currently tenants
based in a small number of leased properties and do not have any direct responsibility
for implementing micro-generation systems within these buildings.</p>
