  3. Renfrewshire Facts and Figures

  4. Renfrewshire Council Energy Team

  5. Feasibility Studies • Grants for feasibility studies/options appraisals will be made available, with an expectation that most should cost no more than £10,000.

  6. The Hammils Feasibility Adjacent to Renfrewshire House Historical Site in the Historical Setting of Paisley Town Centre.

  7. The Hammills Hydro Feasibility Study Historical watermill, now residential properties Assess it’s out put potential Assess it’s revenue potential Identify the technology options and their feasibility.

  8. The Hammills Hydro • Financial feasibility • FiT revenues • Fuel costs saved • Maintenance • Payback period • Community benefits

  10. Strategies • Grants for strategy documents will be made available, subject to a maximum of £20,000 per study.

  11. A Hydro Strategy 33 historical sites of hydrogeneration in the RC area. Currently, no systematic evaluation of their capacity, suitability and viability. Aim to categorise and prioritise RC resources into the more feasible projects.

  12. A Biomass Strategy • Production • Categorisation and viability of redundant land for biomass production. • Identification and quantification of potential feed stock sources. • Possibility of biomass storage and processing to chips or pellets. • Potential job creation, • Potential not for profit local enterprise development.

  13. A Biomass Strategy • Use • Current demand in RC • Quantification and qualification of potential demand in RC • Requirements to deliver and meet demands.

  14. Making the links

  15. Future applications • WHF District Heating Strategy • We have community support and in partnership we have identified opportunities for district heating systems that could supply private housing and make use of a combination of renewable technologies. • We believe such a system could alleviate fuel poverty and achieve significant carbon savings. • We have submitted an application for a strategy grant which will identify potential groupings of dwellings and collect data necessary for feasibility study grant applications.
