Opportunities and barriers for community energy Philip Wolfe Community Energy England CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15

Community Energy England Founded June 2014 >180 members o 70% community energy groups o Leading renewable developers o Independent energy supplier o Local authorities, NGOs & others The voice of community energy o Join at: CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15

Strengths of Community Energy Community energy is: inclusive, democratic, sustainable – and it shares the benefits It is not: remote, unresponsive, exploitative The government is nominally supportive There are tax and regulatory concessions There is a shared ownership protocol CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15

The Shared Ownership Protocol Renewable energy projects; with a capital value over £2.5m; onshore (and optionally offshore); where they deliver energy to the grid; Submitted to planning after November CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15 “We expect that by 2015 it will be the norm for communities to be offered the opportunity of some level of ownership of new, commercially developed onshore renewables projects”

Guidance on S C O protocol How the protocol works Guidance for communities Guidance for developers Partner-finding service CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15

Political obstacles Since the election: End to financial support for onshore wind Planning barrier for onshore wind End to financial support for large solar (Probable) end to pre-accreditation Major reductions to FiT rates Threatened end of FiTs in 2016 CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15

Regulatory barriers & changes Energy sector: Lack of viable business models for EE & heat Inability to sell electricity to own members Difficulty in getting affordable grid connection Regulatory and fiscal: Crack-down by FCA on all mutual Refusal to register energy co-operatives EIS to close – migration to SITR CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15

Proposed strategy Short-term: Defend FiTs and pre-accreditation Engage positively in shared ownership Help FCA understand community energy better Looking ahead: Plan for post-subsidy era for sustainable energy What can we do to get there faster? CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15

Solar approaching grid parity CEE + Coop Energy - Community Energy Conference Sep-15 © Wiki-Solar.org

Post-subsidy era for CE Tax concessions (SITR/EIS) for initial capital Direct energy supply to community members Pricing to reward saving; mitigate poverty Part of surplus used for energy efficiency Collaborate with local government on storage, energy management & grids … focus on renewables; not nuclear & fracking!
