Jeremy Draper Energy Manager Environment Directorate Milton Keynes Council

Energy Efficiency - Projects Several Major collaborative projects; cRRescendo (funded by the EU Concerto initiative) Mains Gas Injection from biogas (UK Growth Area Funding) Electric Vehicle initiative – (UK ETI funding) CYBER/DISPLAY (EU Intelligent Energy programme) AND my day job – managing the day to day energy use of the council

Changing emphasis within the council In the beginning you paid your utility bills Then there was the Energy Manager Then the Sustainability/LA 21 Officer Then the Carbon Manager Now the Climate Change Team!

Initiative Overload More and more climate change related legislation Seek common purposes and methodology to reduce the administrative burden CYBER has common ground with UK EPB legislation, CRC Energy Efficiency Scheme, NI185 & 186 and CSR leadership.
