10 local authorities, 1.2m households, 5.6% of energy market, trusted brands, track record, 900,000
private sector households

Leeds City Region – Domestic Energy Efficiency Project (DEEP)
Context
• Government has challenging carbon saving targets with key targets at 2026 and 2050
• Domestic (household) CO2 savings can contribute a significant amount to the overall target
• Leeds City Region contains over 1.2million households and provides 5.6% of the national energy market
• Local authorities within the LCR have developed public private partnerships to deliver CO2 savings and have developed expertise and shown their enthusiasm through doing
Some Questions
• Is the whole house approach the right approach?
• Are we right to focus on private sector households?
• How can LCR best grow green jobs?• What needs to happen to ensure local business
is supported?• How do we build a programme which recognises
innovation, new technology and funding opportunities will constantly present new opportunities for domestic carbon savings?

Leeds City Region – Domestic Energy Efficiency Project (DEEP)
Objectives
• To deliver Government CO2 targets to our customer and housing stock we need a whole house approach and sequence the delivery of certain measures;
– To save maximum carbon– Create sustainable green jobs– Reduce fuel poverty– Stimulate private sector innovation– Embrace technological advances at the right time
– Cost effective CO2 savings for customers
9
Leeds City Region – Local Carbon Framework
DEEP Principles
• Encourage LCR members to adopt the five DEEP principles1. Quality independent data collection at one visit
2. Whole house approach - insulation, Air tightness (drafts), heating, micro generation, behaviour
3. Customer Choice - Immediate or Gradual carbon savings
4. Customers to access opportunity in an open carbon market
5. LCR able to provide strategic investment lead by directing any subsidy it is able to attract

Leeds City Region – Local Carbon Framework
DRGF Bid focus
• Focus on private sector households and not social housing initially
• The scheme delivers a programme 2011-2014:– 51000 physical carbon saving measures (of which 46000 are insulation)– 19000 behavioural change measures– 751 green jobs – (342 net additional and up to 48 public to private
sector transition jobs)– 9.7m public sector investment– 36m+ private sector investment
• LCR using the local Carbon Framework Pilot to test DEEP principles

DEEP Partnership Framework – preferred model
Framework to cover 10 local authorities, 1 procurement process, framework contracts provided to obligated energy suppliers who will lead a consortium of suppliers and installers of measures, consortiums could include management agents to
support smaller local business and small, medium and large companies able to deliver the range of measures. Framework contractors would ensure CERT
commitment is in place up to December 2012
13
DEEP Partnership Framework – preferred model 2-4 framework consortium
90% of LCR fitted measures will be delivered through the framework, Framework contractors will be allocated a share of the volume work and focus delivery in
core localities. Framework performance monitoring to allow reward. Customers choosing to go direct to market is capped at 10%. If there is
underuse of this opportunity additional allocation will be available to reward the best performing partners
Monitoring criteria• Jobs created• Skills & accreditation of local people• Use of local supply chain• Carbon Saved• Cost• Complaints• Administration and project management

**Assumed each local authority receives same proportion of whole house surveys relative to its LCR household share
**Assumed that all localities convert whole house surveys to measures in an identical way
** the programme would build in mechanism to prevent overall programme slippage if measures could not be achieved or were slow in any locality
Some Questions
• Is the whole house approach the right approach?
• Are we right to focus on private sector households?
• How can LCR best grow green jobs?• What needs to happen to ensure local business
is supported?• How do we build a programme which recognises

CERT Policy Developments
• CERT will end December 2012• Replacements by the Green Deal (£6,500 pay as you save
+ potentially £3,500 additional grant for vulnerable households) and potentially a Energy Carbon Obligation (smaller but could be similar to CERT to help deliver low cost insulation measures)
• Principles by which cert is restricted especially post April 2011– Confidence that carbon savings are realised– Avoidance of deadweight– Focus on non traded sector– Positive impact on vulnerable households– Contributes to scheme transparency
