Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework:How can Cambridgeshire secure £6billion of low carbon energy infrastructure by 2031?

Duncan Price, Director, Camco

Smartlife Centre 15th November 2011

Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework 4

The CRIF project so far

• Cambridgeshire’s renewable energy baseline has been estimated

• Cambridgeshire’s renewable energy potential has been assessed, looking at a range of renewable energy technologies

• We have canvassed opinion on how to deliver this potential across all sectors – community, public sector and commercial -through a number of workshops

• We have developed delivery pathways to identify how key issues/opportunities can be overcome/developed

• We will provide an action plan for each sector to help implement these delivery pathways

Cambridgeshire’s challenging carbon objectives

What is Cambridgeshire's potential?

Substantial infrastructure is needed

Number of installations associated with delivery of each scenario

Green policy support (for building integrated technologies) Low Medium High High

Deployment options for renewable energy

S. Cambs and Hunts have largest resource

District heating potential lies in Cambridge and Huntingdon

Energy efficiency and renewable energy can close the carbon ‘gap’

Conclusions

• Cambridgeshire is doing well – especially renewable electricity

• There is potential for more – solar, biomass, heat pumps, wind

• All technologies are needed – heat and electricity

• Somewhere between medium & high scenarios delivers by 2031

• Also closes carbon gap to meet pro-rata 4th carbon budget

• Significant investment potential – up to £6.1 billion for high scenario

Future Challenges

Long term planning –

invest to save - to ease on-going and future austerity measures due to rising fuel costs

Manage uncertainty –

but still deliver.. uncertainty is not a reason to do nothing

Trust –

stakeholders need to deliver a shared agenda built around greater energy self-reliance in Cambridgeshire. This needs to be coordinated and managed together.

Communication and education –The CRIF Project has touched the tip of the ice-berg -more needs to be done to prepare Cambridgeshire residents/businesses to move to the new paradigm – post petroleum man

Case studies

Case study: public sector

• Sustainable Parish Energy Partnership, South Cambs• Network of local voluntary groups; project secured by SCDC

• Objective to reduce energy bills, tackle climate change, build a sustainable future

• Organises events and initiatives e.g. energy shows, home energy thermal image surveys, working with local businesses, community energy generating projects

• Part-time Parish Energy Project Officer organises programme and provides support

• No direct costs, application forms, contracts or binding targets to parish councils

• How can we build on this to create more community energy projects?

• Decarbonising Cambridge and Carbon Management, Cambridge City

• Decarbonising Cambridge Study – forms part of evidence base for RE planning policies

• Assessed district heating, biomass, energy from waste, wind, pyrolysis, gasification and anaerobic digestion

• Carbon Trust’s Public Sector Carbon Management Plan Programme participation -to cut the Council’s carbon emissions and make ongoing cost savings

• Projects form the basis of the CM plan e.g. upgrading boilers, replacing inefficient light fittings, energy awareness campaigns – also renewable energy projects e.g. Renewable Heat Incentive projects

• Wind energy policy developed 5-7 years ago

• Policy was successful - willingness of council members to approve wind development given need to reduce carbon emissions

• By 2008-2009, impact on landscape led to interim guidance being produced to inform decisions on wind turbine locations

• Now takes into account key criteria e.g. character of landscape, proximity of settlements, visual impact, etc

Wind Energy Policy, Fenlands District Council

• St Neots District Heating, Hunts• Feasibility studied carried out and detailed

feasibility now underway

• Funding from ERDF and Cambridgeshire Horizons

• Aims to provide local benefit – heat to local businesses; potential extension to housing, colleges, housing and central St Neots, possibly Little Barford Power Station

• Public sector led – so lower return is possible with lower cost of borrowing

• Local enthusiasm for scheme

• Hunts already have some experience of DH feasibility – Northstowe

• How can the public sector share this knowledge and experience?

Case study: commercial sector

• At 38MW, largest straw burning power station in the world; straw is used as fuel to heat water, creating steam to drive turbines

• Total cost £55 million - the company did not expect to show a return on this investment for 15 years

• Non Fossil Fuel Obligation contract through to 2013 - electricity purchased at 6p/kWh

• This security was reassuring for banks when compared with the value of ROCs, which were not guaranteed - but makes new investment under the RO less likely

• Waste heat may be used as energy source for adjacent eco village and Elean Data Campus –what can the public sector do to help deliver this?

• Ely Straw Burning Power Station, East Cambs

Case study: commercial/community partnership

• Coldham Estate, Fenlands• Standalone turbines

• Private ownership

• Savings: 38.5 GWh/year - 9,000 UK homes36,000 tonnes CO2

• Community benefits: Revenue under Section 106 agreement for local projects and regeneration; Fund for education

• Community input: The Co-operative Group worked closely with local community during planning and site construction

• How we can encourage more commercial/community collaboration?

Case study: community

• Gamlingay Eco Hub and Wind Turbine (planned)• Community building owned by Parish Council with community input; funding from

Public Works Loan Board or Community Builders fund

• Income from FiT & energy export; reduced energy bills; new community centre

• Standalone wind turbine proposed, owned by community group; entirely private investment from residents and businesses

• 10% net income to community fund for first 15 years of FiT estimated at £200,000

• How can the public and commercial sectors support more projects like this?

• Waterbeach Biogas (Potential)• Community building

• Savings: potential generation of electricity and heat for the Emmaus community; home to 30 people who were formerly homeless.Potential savings of £14,000/year

• Community benefits: reduction in energy bills; high savings as not on gas grid (currently bottled gas)

• Upwell Park Solar PV Installations• Individual households

• Private ownership

• Funding: Property developer

• Savings: 68 tonnes CO2 per year; electricity generated covers lighting and cooking for each of the 67 bungalows

• Community benefits: free electricity & FiTincome passed to tenants of retirement homes

• How can we overcome the proposed changes to the FIT to deliver more schemes like this?

The scale of the challenge

Energy efficiency and renewable energy can close the carbon ‘gap’

What could the CRIF help achieve?

• Cambridgeshire benefiting from up to £6bn of investment

• Shared understanding of barriers and risks to implementation

• Local businesses are provide goods and services to the sector

• Leading county where people choose to invest

• Consistent and pro-active policy framework is adopted

• The public sector takes the lead

• Action plans for shared decision making

Action plans

Example action plan: public sectorIntervention:Using existing buildings as anchor loads

Example action plan: public sectorIntervention:Using public sector assets for RE generation
