BHESCo Presentation - Low-Carbon Litlington & Lullington - Jan 2023.pptx
- 1. DECARBONISING Cuckmere Valley Parish Brighton & Hove Energy Services Co-operative
- 2. Our nation’s Net Zero ambition • Off the gas grid • Challenging to decarbonise • Price cap not applicable • Oil phase out • BHESCo experience in Firle, Crowhurst and Shoreham (Kent)
- 3. Project progress since August 2022 • Conducted energy surveys of 9 archetypal properties • Economic analysis • Wind energy analysis • DNO survey and analysis of connection capacity • Constraints assessment • Visual impact analysis • Consultation with Younity (energy supplier)
- 4. Case study Current EPC rating: E Potential EPC rating: C Potential carbon reduction: 91% Potential fuel cost reduction: 61.5%
- 5. What is possible Installation of 2 x 225kW wind turbines at Rathfinny Wine Estate
- 6. Renewable Electricity Analysis -200000 0 200000 400000 600000 800000 1000000 1200000 1400000 GENERATION CONSUMPTION EXPORT Electricity [kWh] Renewable generation and consumption - Rathfinney Grid Solar New Solar Wind WIND RENEWABLE SOLAR GRID GRID RENEWABLE • Anticipated wind generation almost 700,000 kWh per annum • 74% of Future winery electricity consumption met by renewables • 62% of renewable generation exported to local grid • Current consumption in Cuckmere valley parish ~260,000 kWh

- 9. Planning application BHESCo will submit a planning application & Environmental Impact Assessment to the South Downs National Park
- 10. Taking a phased approach 1 3 2 Rollout improvements energy efficiency of homes Install air source heat pumps 4 Submit final report to Rural Community Energy Funders Install 2 x wind turbines at Rathfinny wine estate 5 Planning application & Environmental Impact Assessment
- 11. Financing the work to be done • Community share offer / Community Bond Offer • Local residents can become investors in and co-owners of the renewable energy generating equipment Cuckmere Valley Community Investment Offer 2023
- 12. Benefits for the community • Switching from oil to electricity will reduce carbon emissions significantly • Lower energy costs • More reliable energy supply (insulated from volatile international markets) • Opportunity for residents to own a share of their own local clean energy, earning up to a 5% return on their investment. • A community fund could be established contributing an amount of up to £413,000 over the 20 year lifetime of the project
- 13. Environmental benefit Upgrading all the homes in the three parish wards with heat pumps would yield carbon emission saving of 275 tonnes annually, or 292 tonnes with additional insulation measures. This is the equivalent of planting 4,547 trees each year or removing 60 cars off the road.

- 14. Some key points before Q&A • Project is conditional on Planning Permission • Extensive consultation going forward. • Co-operation with Rathfinny Wine Estate, Longman Brewery, and other enthusiastic partners and residents. • The number one priority for this project is that it must deliver a defined, tangible benefit to residents of Litlington, Lullington and Westdean. • Changes in the Cuckmere Valley landscape, e.g. flood plain - This one would be very unobtrusive.

Editor's Notes
- 740,000 kWh export 660,000 kWh additional if ALL switch to heat pumps 570,000 kWh additional if also adding reasonable level of insulation
- The global climate crisis Rising levels of inequality Rising levels of fuel poverty Government intent vs government policy
- Rathfinny could have just hired a commercial developer, like Octopus energy, but they chose to work with us because of the community benefit Economic benefits that the Rathfinny Wine Estate brings to the local community in terms of increased trade and tourism, especially for the village of Alfriston.
