Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework
Background

 •     DECC study of renewable energy potential in the East of England
 •     CRIF work looks in more detail at Cambridegshire
 •     Moving beyond technical potential to economic and deployment
       considerations
 •     Consideration of three primary delivery pathways
 •     Forms part of the evidence base for public policy formation

Conclusions: deployment potential

 •     Cambridgeshire has experience of delivering renewable energy
 •     There needs to be more – solar, biomass, heat pumps, wind
 •     All technologies are needed – heat and electricity
 •     Somewhere between medium & high scenarios delivers UK legal
       renewable energy and carbon targets by 2031
 •     Significant investment potential – up to £6.1 billion for high scenario
 •     Local jobs, affordable energy, hub of expertise

         106 agreement for local projects and
         regeneration; Fund for education
   •     Community input: The Co-operative Group
         worked closely with local community during
         planning and site construction

Conclusions

 •     The economic prize is £3-6bn investment in Cambridgeshire
 •     Deployment potential is spread across three pathways
 •     Conditions precedent must be met
 •     There are good practice examples to follow
 •     The role of the public sector is key:
       Leadership
       Policy support
       Project development through own assets

    Background • DECC study of renewable energy potential in the East of England • CRIF work looks in more detail at Cambridegshire • Moving beyond technical potential to economic and deployment considerations • Consideration of three primary delivery pathways • Forms part of the evidence base for public policy formation Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework 1

  • 15.
    Conclusions: deployment potential • Cambridgeshire has experience of delivering renewable energy • There needs to be more – solar, biomass, heat pumps, wind • All technologies are needed – heat and electricity • Somewhere between medium & high scenarios delivers UK legal renewable energy and carbon targets by 2031 • Significant investment potential – up to £6.1 billion for high scenario • Local jobs, affordable energy, hub of expertise Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework 14

    What is thepotential for each pathway? Deployment potential by pathway 1600 Deployment potential (GWh) 1400 Wind >=6 turbines 1200 Wind <=5 turbines 1000 Biomass 800 ASHP 600 GSHP 400 SWH 200 PV 0 Public sector Community Commercial Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework 17
  • 19.
    Community pathway Deployment potential • PV • Heat pumps • 145MWp, 1,150,000m² of panels • 43,000 or 15% of houses • 460 non-residential buildings and 30,400 • £140m capex, £75m NPV houses (14%) • Wind • £640m capex, £150m NPV • 75MW or 30 turbines • Solar water heating • £120m capex, £8m NPV • 42,600m² of panels on 8,500 houses (4%) • £50m capex, £20m NPV Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework 18

    Commercial pathway roadmap Conditions precedent •Strong and stable policy environment •Clearly identified investment opportunities •Public sector facilitation Roadmap Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework 27
  • 29.
    Conclusions • The economic prize is £3-6bn investment in Cambridgeshire • Deployment potential is spread across three pathways • Conditions precedent must be met • There are good practice examples to follow • The role of the public sector is key: Leadership Policy support Project development through own assets Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework 28
