Heating without the hot air: Principles for smart heat electrificationLeonardo ENERGY
Heating in buildings is responsible for almost a third of total EU energy demand. And most of that heat is met by burning fossil fuels. In order to decarbonise heating, electrification is seen by many as a key strategy. The transformative challenge of the electrification of heating should not be underestimated. It will require strategic, ongoing policy and governance support. It requires a well-coordinated approach that cuts across several areas — buildings, individual and district heating systems, the power sector and existing heating fuel supply infrastructure. In this webinar, Dr. Jan Rosenow and Dr. Richard Lowes present pragmatic principles and policies for smart electrification of heating in Europe.
The webinar will be based on a recent RAP report which can be freely downloaded at https://www.raponline.org/knowledge-center/heating-without-hot-air-principles-smart-heat-electrification/

The Mayor of London works to make London a more resilient, sustainable and resource efficient city, where businesses want to be based and where people want to live and work.
To achieve the Mayor’s vision for the environment, the GLA develops and delivers a set of results-focused programmes. These programmes also create jobs and attract investment in areas such as waste recycling, water, green infrastructure, energy and the low carbon and green economy.
RE:FIT and RE:NEW are the Mayor of London award-winning programmes to help make London homes, non-domestic buildings and assets more energy efficient by cutting carbon emissions and energy bills. These programmes support organisations to develop and bring their energy efficiency projects to market.
The Mayor’s DEPDU Successor programme – 50% funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - is set up to support the Mayor’s target of 25 per cent of London’s energy to be generated through Decentralised Energy (DE) by 2025. The programme supports others to develop and bring their DE projects to market.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

P2: Maintenance.
P3: Total guarantee.
P4: Investments necessary for Energy efficiency
P5: Other investments related to energy efficiency
P6: Complementary works.
16. Main Barriers in Spain for RES and EE
1. Incomes from renewable were and still are,
uncertain.
2. Credit crunch: high difficulty to access to
conventional financing
3. Low debt capacity by local governments
4. Low previous experience of the energy
services market for the public sector and lack of
clear legal models to promote ESCOs
5. Resistance to change the mentality of public
ownership and ESCO’s managing public energy
contracts
6. Lack of clear public accounting rules regarding
ESCO projects
17. Lessons learned with REDIBA
1. It is important to keep the know-how internally instead
of depending on external engineering or consultancies
2. The cost of each external study has been reduced
significantly as the REDIBA moved forward.
3. It is important to take into consideration the elections
calendar at the city councils in the investment
programme.
4. It is very important to have alternatives to investments
and much more investment forecasted in-line rather
than just the required amount.
18. 5. A tailor suit for every tender and initiative it is of great
significance. REDIBA Technical staff HAS TO stand
next to the councillor and the council technical staff in
order to help the council against the lack of knowledge
and the influence of private companies. Technical and
legal assistance from the very beginning to the very
end.
6. Although all our efforts to fit all the city councils
investments within the ELENA period, at least 20 public
lighting and biomass projects will be tendered during the
6 months period after June
19. Final conclusions from REDIBA project
• The energy saving potential in public
authorities is high.
• Although the difficulties in financing City
Councils , REDIBA has mobilized investments
in EE and RES.
• New Contract models in public works, services
and goods requires time. Once we have many
reference, it is easier to replicate.
• Financing is not enough. City councils need
tailored assistance throughout the process.
20. • When public money is scarce, the Public-Private
cooperation is an efficient way to invest in public
authorities
• Although the technical part of the project is very
important, the key for the P-P is the legal and public
accounting part. A clear statement from EC regarding
ESCo contracts not counting as liability is needed.
• TA based on economical leverage is very useful to
make European initiatives more efficient, but sometimes
“force” you to forget about low investment/high energy
saving projects. May be a solution could be to set a
Climatic (CO2) leverage? Energetic leverage (kWh)?
21. What about the future? Beyond REDIBA…
• The future challenges are :
Self consumption of solar power in small and medium
sized public buildings .
Biomass heaters or small district heating
Energy efficiency in buildings.
Public lighting efficiency
• There is a great potential on saving energy trough low
cost initiatives : energy meters, energy management and
final users participation.
