There are approximately 115,000 buildings in the total Ministry of Defence Estate, and information on the number of solar panels and wind turbines on these buildings in 2020, and in each of the last 5 years, is not held in the format requested.

However, there are examples of such installations including 2,653 solar PV panels installed by the Allenby Connaught Private Finance Initiative (PFI) and solar panels have been included on 286 new Service Family Accommodation houses recently built near the Salisbury Plain Training Area.
