1. Energy Workshop Low Carbon Liverpool 25 July 2013

2. 2 Presentation structure 1.Questions / Prompts 2.Background to help discussions: Why bother? - Drivers and fitting into a wider master planning process Key issues and what needs to be done - How phasing, mix, and scale of development affects technology options Energy profiling through to recommended solutions On-going project activity in the City Region

3. Questions / Prompts

4. 1.Can we plan and deliver our own energy supply? 2.If we should plan, for how long - 5, 10, 15, 20 - 50 years +? 3.Should it be done now or only when legislation requires it? – eg, Code Level 6 and emphasis on Allowable Solutions 4.Who are/ should be our energy champions? 5.Are we ‘Smart Ready’? 6.Should we be integrating the delivery of infrastructure? 7.Are we making the most of the opportunities that are emerging?

5. Why bother?

6. 6 Key drivers of infrastructure Infrastructure Regulatory Change Growth Climate Change Age & Quality Technology Change

7. 7 A minefield of policy drivers across all sectors

8. 8 It’s a long process that needs planning

9. 9 Key players all delivering different infrastructures [1] [1] Other providers include (but limited to) aaisp.net, ASSL 24, aquiss, clarinet soho, eclipse, hyperontic,fast.co.uk, IDNET, plusnet, Sky Fibre, Talk Talk, timico, VISPA, VIVACITI, wen tapestry, ZEN internet limited [2] [2] The 21st Century Network (21CN) programme is the network transformation project of the UK telecommunications company BT Group plc for data and voice. It had been intended to move BT's telephone network from the present AXE/System X Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to an Internet Protocol (IP) system. As well as switching over the PSTN, BT planned to deliver many additional services over their new data network, such as on-demand interactive TV services Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_21CN BT Group plcAXESystem XPublic Switched Telephone NetworkInternet Protocolhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BT_21CN [3] [3] Fibre to the cabinet (FTTC) involves running fibre optic cables from the telephone exchange or distribution point to the street cabinets which then connect to a standard phone line to provide broadband. Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP), also often referred to as Fibre-to-the-Home (FTTH) provides and end-to-end fibre optic connection the full distance from the exchange to the building and can deliver faster speeds than FTTC as there is no copper leg at all.

10. Key issues and what needs to be done

13. 13 Ensuring effective delivery Need to consider energy as part of any area or development. Must be able to identify energy opportunities and commission projects. Requires understanding in order to ask the right questions, understand recommendations and choose the optimum solution.

14. 14 If you don’t look at an area strategically how do you know you’ve identified all the opportunities?

15. 15 About understanding the challenges on a site/ area level

16. 16 There are many issues and variables to consider Heat networks Programmes Areas of change Priority projects Carbon compliance Growth options Allowable solutions Network losses Mix and phasing Storage Age and efficiency of buildings Land capacity and availability Constraints and measurements Connections Spatial Policy Programme Technical

17. “There are too many debates. Too much Word, not enough Excel” Hans Rosling 2013

18. 18 Viability is critical The key issue is viability which is driven by: Load diversity (eg, mix of uses) Presence of anchor loads Scheme development costs - from concept through to financial close Revenue potential from electricity and heat sales Avoided building energy system costs Scheme operating costs

19. 19 Its not just about the planners Energy champions are needed Champions can be found in a variety of departments: - Housing and Estates teams - Regeneration and Planning - Environment and Sustainability - Infrastructure and Highways May need organisational changes or new joint working structures

20. 20 There should be clear objectives Integrated approach reflected in all policy and strategy Awareness, knowledge and political commitment Projects identified at an early stage Links with relevant external agencies and organisations Evidence base is regularly reviewed and updated Identify and secure funding Record, review and comment on specific opportunities which arise
