Cambridgeshire’s challenging carbon objectives

1

What is Cambridgeshire's potential?


Cambridgeshire is progressing well

2


Modelling renewable energy deployment potential

3


Deployment options for renewable energy

4


Renewable electricity potential is very large

5


Renewable heat constitutes the greater challenge

6


S. Cambs and Hunts have largest resource

7


District heating potential lies in Cambridge and Huntingdon

8


Substantial infrastructure is needed

Number of installations associated with delivery of each scenario

9


Significant investment opportunity

Investment potential for each scenario in £millions

10


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

11

Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 12

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

Deployment potential by pathway

Wind >=6 turbines

Wind <=5 turbines

Biomass

ASHP

GSHP

SWH

PV


Community deployment potential

• PV• 145MWp, 1,150,000m² of panels

• 460 non-residential buildings and 30,400 houses (14%)

• Solar water heating• 42,600m² of panels on 8,500 houses (4%)

• Heat pumps• 43,000 or 15% of houses

• Wind• 75MW or 30 turbines

16


Vision for community delivery pathway

• Communities have strong incentive to invest in renewable energy• Effective hard and soft incentive mechanisms

• Minimisation of risks and barriers to implementation

• Communities have access to a range of funding sources• Availability of applicable finance options for a range of project types

• Gaining access to existing and new funding sources

• Communities are maximising learning from leading practice• Demonstration case studies of successful community energy schemes

• Access to quality impartial ‘self-help’ guidance and information

17


Vision for community delivery pathway

• Communities are managing energy projects effectively• Identification of governance methods and relative benefits of each approach

• Range of delivery options identified

• Investment and delivery opportunities are clearly communicated

1818


Public sector deployment potential

• PV• 39MWp, 300,00m² of panels

• 180 non-residential buildings and 7,500 houses (18%)

• Solar water heating• 8,400m² of panels on 1,700 houses (4%)

• Heat pumps• 8,100 or 20% of houses

• Wind• 27MW or 11 turbines

• Biomass• 14 installations of 1.5MW

19


Vision for public sector pathway

• Public sector is maximising value of its own hard assets• PV on roofs of offices, schools, hospitals, leisure centres

• PV in social housing – own stock, ALMO and with housing association partners

• Appropriate wind development on public sector assets

• Provision of anchor loads for district heating and CHP

• Renewable energy transition plan for each building

• Demonstration projects for advanced technologies and new approaches



• Public sector is maximising value from its soft assets• Planning policies – LDF, LDO, s106, CIL

• Enabling mechanisms – community energy fund, grant funding

• Public sector led development – de-risking projects, early project promotion

• Political engagement – FIT, RHI and Green Deal policy certainty, tariffs, etc.

• Market development – awareness raising, pipeline development for Green Deal




Commercial deployment potential

• PV• 160MWp, 1,300,000m² of panels

• 3,200 non-residential buildings

• Solar water heating• 8,300m² of panels on 1,700 or 20% of buildings

• Heat pumps• 200 or 3% of buildings

• Wind• For wind parks ≤5 turbines, 28MW or 11 turbines

• For wind parks ≥6 turbines, 375MW or 150 turbines

• Biomass• 14 installations of 1.5MW

23


Vision for commercial delivery pathway

• Investment opportunities are clearly identified• Technical, economic and deployment potential based on WP1

• Benefits of growth agenda are articulated

• Preconditions are clearly understood by public and private sector + community

• Public sector is facilitating investment• Establishing clear public policies and protocols to provide market certainty

• Engaging in constructive dialogue with community

• Using its own assets to lever wider opportunities



• Investment is flowing, projects being developed• Cambridgeshire seen as county with good renewable energy development

potential

• Cambridgeshire demonstrated to be investor-friendly

• Supply chain is in place, levels of risk and return meet minimum commercial requirements

• Constructive dialogue, community benefiting and accepting

What will the pathways look like or include?

• Compelling vision of what can be achieved

• Shared understanding of barriers and risks to implementation

• Cambridgeshire benefiting from up to £6.5bn of investment

• Local businesses are providing 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

• Project plan for shared decision making
