PrimaryObjectives • Peterborough Council (PCC) aim to generate up to 171GWh of energy annually from a blend of renewable sources. • Sources due to begin generation in 2015 – 2016. • Should fulfill Peterborough City Council’s energy needs (demand of 47 GWh) • May require a “top-up” agreement with an energy supplier. • Other sources of generation to potentially be added subsequent to 2016 (e.g. CCGT power plant).
Business Model • Generate a profit from the sale of its excess energy; • Be scalable / sellable to other councils; • Be financially self-sustaining for [X] years; • Keep costs of supply/transmission low; • Result in a cheap, green “Peterborough tariff” for local residents; • Allow Peterborough to be self-sufficient for energy.
