12. Energy efficiency and renewable energy can
close the carbon ‘gap’

13. Conclusions
• Cambridgeshire is doing well – especially renewable electricity
• There is potential for more – solar, biomass, heat pumps, wind
• All technologies are needed – heat and electricity
• Somewhere between medium & high scenarios delivers by 2031
• Also closes carbon gap to meet pro-rata 4th carbon budget
• Significant investment potential – up to £6.1 billion for high
scenario

17. Community deployment potential
• PV
• 145MWp, 1,150,000m² of panels
• 460 non-residential buildings and 30,400 houses (14%)
• Solar water heating
• 42,600m² of panels on 8,500 houses (4%)
• Heat pumps
• 43,000 or 15% of houses
• Wind
• 75MW or 30 turbines
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 16

18. Vision for community delivery pathway
• Communities have strong incentive to invest in renewable energy
• Effective hard and soft incentive mechanisms
• Minimisation of risks and barriers to implementation
• Communities have access to a range of funding sources
• Availability of applicable finance options for a range of project types
• Gaining access to existing and new funding sources
• Communities are maximising learning from leading practice
• Demonstration case studies of successful community energy schemes
• Access to quality impartial ‘self-help’ guidance and information
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 17

19. Vision for community delivery pathway
• Communities are managing energy projects effectively
• Identification of governance methods and relative benefits of each approach
• Range of delivery options identified
• Investment and delivery opportunities are clearly communicated
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 18

20. Public sector deployment potential
• PV
• 39MWp, 300,00m² of panels
• 180 non-residential buildings and 7,500 houses (18%)
• Solar water heating
• 8,400m² of panels on 1,700 houses (4%)
• Heat pumps
• 8,100 or 20% of houses
• Wind
• 27MW or 11 turbines
• Biomass
• 14 installations of 1.5MW
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 19

21. Vision for public sector pathway
• Public sector is maximising value of its own hard assets
• PV on roofs of offices, schools, hospitals, leisure centres
• PV in social housing – own stock, ALMO and with housing association partners
• Appropriate wind development on public sector assets
• Provision of anchor loads for district heating and CHP
• Renewable energy transition plan for each building
• Demonstration projects for advanced technologies and new approaches
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 20

22. Vision for public sector pathway
• Public sector is maximising value from its soft assets
• Planning policies – LDF, LDO, s106, CIL
• Enabling mechanisms – community energy fund, grant funding
• Public sector led development – de-risking projects, early project promotion
• Political engagement – FIT, RHI and Green Deal policy certainty, tariffs, etc.
• Market development – awareness raising, pipeline development for Green Deal

26. Vision for commercial delivery pathway
• Investment is flowing, projects being developed
• Cambridgeshire seen as county with good renewable energy development
potential
• Cambridgeshire demonstrated to be investor-friendly
• Supply chain is in place, levels of risk and return meet minimum commercial
requirements
• Constructive dialogue, community benefiting and accepting
