Will ESOS be a cost, or a benefit?
• DECC estimates:
– ESOS will save companies on average, around £60K over
each four-year reporting cycle
– This is based on just 5% of cost-effective
recommendations being implemented
– Compliance costs are estimated at
£21K for the first four-year cycle
– Implementation costs are estimated
at £20K over the four year cycle

This document discusses aligning policies for the transition to a low-carbon economy in Asia. It makes three key points: 1) A low-carbon economy is an imperative, feasible, and inclusive growth model for Asia that can be achieved through reforming cross-cutting policies and aligning policies for specific economic activities. 2) Countries in Asia have begun implementing policy tools like regulations, financial incentives, and technology support to reduce emissions, but barriers remain from conflicting economic interests among countries. 3) Significant investment estimated at hundreds of billions annually will be required from public and private sources to finance the transition to a low-carbon economy in Asia, and regional cooperation can help accelerate actions through frameworks that promote trade,

Deep Retrofit: Retrofit in the UK

SustainableEnergyAut

This document discusses the history and future of building retrofit policy and standards in the UK. It outlines several past retrofit programs, including Retrofit for the Future, The Green Deal, and Energy Company Obligation, which faced issues like high costs and lack of consumer incentives. Current efforts include the Publicly Available Specification 2030 installer standard, Retrofit Academy training, and the Each Home Counts review. The document calls for a framework of retrofit standards to improve building performance while avoiding unintended consequences. Finally, it notes that retrofitting all UK buildings to zero carbon by 2050 will require retrofitting over 750,000 homes per year.

UK: A Market-led Response to Energy Efficiency

IEA DSM Implementing Agreement (IA)

This document summarizes the UK's Energy Efficiency Commitment (EEC) policy, which places obligations on domestic energy suppliers to improve energy efficiency. It discusses that the EEC has gradually increased targets and scope since 2002. Suppliers must meet energy savings targets, with at least 50% in low-income groups. The market approach allows suppliers flexibility in measures. Most suppliers met EEC2 targets. The policy has effectively improved housing efficiency but further work is needed on more expensive measures and electricity use. The new Carbon Emissions Reduction Target doubles previous targets but maintains the market approach.

Peter Skeen of TLT LLP discussed typical corporate structures for renewable energy projects and recent opportunities for community projects. The standard structure involves a special purpose vehicle (SPV) project company that holds all the necessary assets and rights to construct and operate the project. Ensuring these are granted to the correct entity from the start is important for achieving a bankable project. New rules allow two solar installations to be treated as separate sites if they share a grid connection and one is owned by a community organization, opening opportunities for larger community projects. Potential structures for community projects include community interest companies and benefit companies, which have features like asset locks and community interest tests but also regulatory oversight. Pitfalls can arise from variations to planning permissions, grid
