Primary Objectives 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 – –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.
