Ecotricity, a firm linked to a millionaire Labour donor, holds a City Hall contract worth in excess of 3.5m. The donor has given to Labour and the Green Party and shared a platform with Mayor Sadiq Khan at Earthfest. The mayor does not have a role in awarding GLA commercial contracts, as noted during the Taylor Swift ticket controversy. The contract includes electricity supply for Trafalgar Square and was valued at 470,000 a year in 2020. A freedom of information response shows Ecotricity has been paid 3.55million by City Hall since 2020/21.
