Overview
Introducing the Energy Systems Catapult
Whole Systems Approach and ETI Smart Systems and Heat Programme
Need for Better Energy Planning
Local Area Energy Planning
Enabling Innovation and Community Energy Solutions
Pilot projects across the UK
1st April
Target:
9,000 new jobs
1. Introducing the Energy Systems Catapult
Vision:
Enable Britain to be a global leader in new products and
services for energy systems by exploiting the opportunity
created by the transformation of Britain’s Energy Systems
Scope:
Heat, Combustible Gases and Electricity
Networks; Integration, Interoperability
System Design, Communications, Data, Analytics,
Customer engagement; Business models, Market
mechanisms
Target:
Stimulate UK economic growth.
£6billion growth & 9,000 new jobs for UK by 2030
2. Whole systems approaches…
Multiple UK energy innovation projects but few new
products and services coming to market
Transformation programmes stuttering, false starts,
changing views for solving the energy ‘trilemma’
UK has a complex energy system
Decision makers lack comprehensive evidence
based understanding of how UK energy system can
transform.
ETI’s Smart Systems and Heat Programme
“Creating future-proof and economic
local heating solutions for the UK”
Connecting together – the
understanding of consumer needs and
behaviour with the development and
integration of technologies and new
business models into…
Delivering enhanced knowledge
amongst industry and public sector
Resulting in industry and investor
confidence to implement from 2020
which enables a UK heat transition
The Energy Systems Catapult will deliver Phase
One of the SSH programme as a supplier to the
ETI following the transition of the SSH
programme team to the Catapult. From 2017 the
Catapult will be responsible for delivery of Phase
Two of the programme independently of the ETI.
1st April
Target:
9,000 new jobs
Focus on Heat...
Opportunity:
Space and water heating in UK homes is greater than electricity consumption.
Heat networks and electrification of heat present technical solution.
Target: >20% reduction in £350bn DECC estimate to decarbonise
UK local heating by 2050.
Delivering ETI Smart System and Heat Programme
Phase 1: Develop tools enabling Local Authorities
to design / implement low carbon energy systems
Phase 2: Validate with large scale Demonstrators
(1,000’s of buildings): Manchester, Newcastle,
Bridgend
3. Need for better energy planning
UK (and most of the world!) is failing to plan for a low carbon energy future
We have just 10 years to prepare - must have credible plan in place
Significant opportunity for innovation and new thinking
There will be no one-size fits all - different places - different solutions
Energy Efficiency and Retrofit Measures
Electrification of Heat – Heat Pump and Electric Heating Solutions
Decentralised Energy and District Heating
Positive evidence based energy planning is critical to making right decisions
Driving down the cost of decarbonising local heating by 2050.

4. Local Area Energy Planning
Clear Vision and Local Evidence Based Plan
Since 2013 SSH Programme has been developing EnergyPath
Single most advanced local area spatial energy planning tool
Building an energy plan unique to each local area – built from the ground up
Creates local representation of all energy demand and supply
Map impact of all future growth on local energy system
Develop optimised pathways for a local low carbon energy transition
Identify the right energy systems in the right places at right time
Provide robust and credible evidence for decision making

Evidence for decision making
Critical decision factors for good planning - what, where and when
Where might we best build decentralised energy centres/district heating?
Where is extensive energy efficiency and retro-fit optimal?
Where might homes transition from gas to heat networks or electric heating?
What is the impact of heat pumps/EV charging on the local electricity network?
When is costly electricity network reinforcement triggered – can it be avoided?
What is the impact of new development?
What is the potential role of smart home energy management and other systems?
What local carbon targets are needed?
What do we need to prioritise in the near term?
Socio economic impacts – cost, jobs, fuel poverty, heath impacts
Credible evidence for local policy and spatial planning decisions
Identify inward investment opportunity for energy system transformation
Inform the national policy and regulation picture
Enabling innovation
Local Energy Plans can be a catalyst for innovation
Identify potential near and long term investment opportunities
Prioritise need for research, policy support and change
Support new delivery strategies for a low carbon future
New business models for 21st century energy systems
Local Authority or community delivery of low carbon energy transition
Smart technology solutions driven at a utility and community scale
Current Local Partnership Pilots
SSH programme selected 11 Local Authority partners
3 Pilot EnergyPath Transition Plans in scoping and development
Delivery over 2016/17
Preparation for ‘Phase 2’ demonstrators
Greater
Manchester
Newcastle
Bridgend
