Heat Network Partnership District Heating Strategy Support Workshop The Strategic Approach

1. Heat Network PartnershipDistrict Heating Strategy Support WorkshopThe Strategic Approach Peter North September 2015

2. Reducing London’s CO2 Emissions • 30% of London’s CO2 emissions are attributable to consumption of heat (mostly mains gas) • Greatest opportunity for CO2 reduction within London is to reduce demand for heat through building retrofit and low carbon, local (decentralised) heat supply. • Decarbonising electricity supply is better placed as a national action (nuclear, wind, carbon capture and storage)

3. The London Plan (2011) The London Plan is the overall strategic plan for London, to which London Boroughs’ local plans need to be in conformity with. Chapter 5 sets out policies in accordance with the hierarchy: In particular: • Policy 5.2 sets CO2 reduction targets from energy efficiency interventions for both residential and non-residential buildings until 2031 (zero carbon) • Policy 5.5 sets the policy requirements for London Boroughs to identify and establish DE networks, including the development of Energy Master Plans • Policy 5.6 sets out the policy requirements for development proposal with regards DE

4. The Mayor’s Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy - October 2011 • London’s CO2 emissions reduction targets • Reductions based on 1990 levels: • 2015 (interim target) 20% • 2020 (interim target) 40% • 2025 60% • 2050 at least 80% • 25% from decentralised energy by 2025 • An £8bn investment opportunity

6. Heat Mapping

7. Energy Masterplanning Energy Masterplans • Identify larger scale DE opportunities • Long-term vision for heat network growth • Develop planning policies to promote connection to heat networks Deliver Policy Objects • CO2reduction • Inward investment • Anti-poverty • Fuel poverty • Income generation • Energy efficiency • Business-as-usual

8. EOn 400MWe Enfield Power Station (~12MWth potential LP steam) Johnson Matthey Industrial Plant (potential low grade heat rejection & existing CHP) ~7.5km Proposed Gasification Plant (potential for ~10MWth) Broadwater Farm LWL Edmonton EcoPark (~18-60MWth; 8-23MWe) District Heating Network Option: British Waterways Corridor District Heating Network Option: Network Rail Corridor Upper Lee Valley Opportunity Area Energy Strategy

9. Strategic Development • Project defined by the Energy Masterplan • Long-term development plan • Private leadership requires guaranteed major initial heat load (note industrial loads unreliable), otherwise: • Public involvement: • Planning policy • Safeguarding (routes and energy centres) • Heat load guarantee • Public finance (3.5% to 6% IRR) • Public delivery vehicle • Policy delivery (fuel poverty, carbon reductions etc) • Continue public ownership, refinance or exit to private sector

10. Strategic Principles Energy Principles • Security of supply • Sustainability • Affordability Strategic Priorities • Environmental • Growth • Poverty • Affordable warmth • Revenue generation Approach • Scale • Available energy sources • Heat demand densities • Overarching scheme • Policy evidence base • Phased implementation • Delivery strategy

11. Conclusions • Plan big, start small • Public leadership essential - where more than two entities are involved • Political support • Senior officers’ agenda • The Champion • Idea to construction - three to seven years • Persevere – many blind alleys
