  1. Energy Workshop Low Carbon Liverpool 25 July 2013

  2. Presentation structure Questions / Prompts Background to help discussions: • Why bother? - Drivers and fitting into a wider master planning process • Key issues and what needs to be done - How phasing, mix, and scale of development affects technology options • Energy profiling through to recommended solutions • On-going project activity in the City Region

  3. Questions / Prompts

  4. Can we plan and deliver our own energy supply? If we should plan, for how long - 5, 10, 15, 20 - 50 years +? Should it be done now or only when legislation requires it? – eg, Code Level 6 and emphasis on Allowable Solutions Who are/ should be our energy champions? Are we ‘Smart Ready’? Should we be integrating the delivery of infrastructure? Are we making the most of the opportunities that are emerging?

  5. Why bother?

  6. Key drivers of infrastructure

  7. A minefield of policy drivers across all sectors

  8. It’s a long process that needs planning

It had been intended to move BT's telephone network from the present AXE/System XPublic Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to an Internet Protocol (IP) system. As well as switching over the PSTN, BT planned to deliver many additional services over their new data network, such as on-demand interactive TV services Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_21CN [3] Fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) involves running fibre optic cables from the telephone exchange or distribution point to the street cabinets which then connect to a standard phone line to provide broadband. Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP), also often referred to as Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) provides and end-to-end fibre optic connection the full distance from the exchange to the building and can deliver faster speeds than FTTC as there is no copper leg at all. Key players all delivering different infrastructures

  10. Key issues and what needs to be done

  11. Ensuring effective delivery • Need to consider energy as part of any area or development. • Must be able to identify energy opportunities and commission projects. • Requires understanding in order to ask the right questions, understand recommendations and choose the optimum solution.

  12. If you don’t look at an area strategically how do you know you’ve identified all the opportunities?

  13. About understanding the challenges on a site/ area level

  14. There are many issues and variables to consider Age and efficiency of buildings Priority projects Programmes Mix and phasing Constraints and measurements Growth options Heat networks Network losses Spatial Policy Programme Technical Connections Allowable solutions Land capacity and availability Carbon compliance Storage Areas of change

  15. “There are too many debates. Too much Word, not enough Excel” Hans Rosling 2013

  16. Viability is critical • The key issue is viability which is driven by: • Load diversity (eg, mix of uses) • Presence of anchor loads • Scheme development costs - from concept through to financial close • Revenue potential from electricity and heat sales • Avoided building energy system costs • Scheme operating costs

  17. Its not just about the planners • Energy champions are needed • Champions can be found in a variety of departments: • Housing and Estates teams • Regeneration and Planning • Environment and Sustainability • Infrastructure and Highways • May need organisational changes or new joint working structures

  18. There should be clear objectives • Integrated approach reflected in all policy and strategy • Awareness, knowledge and political commitment • Projects identified at an early stage • Links with relevant external agencies and organisations • Evidence base is regularly reviewed and updated • Identify and secure funding • Record, reviewand comment on specific opportunities which arise

  21. Recommended approachws

  22. Activity across the City Region

  23. Some examples • Alexandra Dock 150MWe biomass plant, application awaited by PINS under the NSIP planning regime • StobartPark/3MG 20MWe CHP plant recently approved by Halton • 10.6MWe EfW CHP in St Helens application under consideration • Pre-application and EIA Screening for solar parks in Sefton (20MW) and St Helens (5MW) • Pre-application and EIA Screening for 3.3MWe biomass CHP in St Helens • Knowsley Industrial Park heat networks – OJEU for technical advisor
