HEAT NETWORK PARTNERSHIP
DISTRICT HEATING STRATEGY SUPPORT WORKSHOP
THE STRATEGIC APPROACH
Peter North
September 2015
Reducing London’s CO2 Emissions
• 30% of London’s CO2 emissions are attributable to consumption of heat (mostly mains gas)
• Greatest opportunity for CO2 reduction within London is to reduce demand for heat through building retrofit and low carbon, local (decentralised) heat supply.
• Decarbonising electricity supply is better placed as a national action (nuclear, wind, carbon capture and storage)
The London Plan (2011)
Chapter 5 sets out policies in accordance with the hierarchy:
In particular:•Policy 5.2 sets CO2 reduction targets from energy efficiency interventions for both residential and non-residential buildings until 2031 (zero carbon)•Policy 5.5 sets the policy requirements for London Boroughs to identify and establish DE networks, including the development of Energy Master Plans
• Policy 5.6 sets out the policy requirements for development proposal with regards DE
The London Plan is the overall strategic plan for London, to which London Boroughs’ local plans need to be in conformity with.
The Mayor’s Climate Change Mitigation and Energy Strategy - October 2011
• London’s CO2 emissions reduction targets
• Reductions based on 1990 levels:o 2015 (interim target) 20%o 2020 (interim target) 40%o 2025 60%o 2050 at least 80%
• 25% from decentralised energy by 2025
• An £8bn investment opportunity
Energy Masterplanning
Energy Masterplans•Identify larger scale DE opportunities
•Long-term vision for heat network growth
•Develop planning policies to promote connection to heat networks
Deliver Policy Objects•CO2 reduction
•Inward investment
•Anti-poverty
•Fuel poverty
•Income generation
•Energy efficiency
•Business-as-usual

District Heating Network Option:
Network Rail Corridor
• Project defined by the Energy Masterplan• Long-term development plan• Private leadership requires guaranteed major initial heat load (note
industrial loads unreliable), otherwise:• Public involvement:
– Planning policy
– Safeguarding (routes and energy centres)
– Heat load guarantee
– Public finance (3.5% to 6% IRR)
– Public delivery vehicle
– Policy delivery (fuel poverty, carbon reductions etc)
• Continue public ownership, refinance or exit to private sector
Strategic Development
Strategic Principles
Energy Principles– Security of supply– Sustainability– Affordability
Strategic Priorities– Environmental– Growth– Poverty– Affordable warmth– Revenue generation
Approach– Scale– Available energy sources– Heat demand densities– Overarching scheme– Policy evidence base– Phased implementation– Delivery strategy
Conclusions
• Plan big, start small• Public leadership
essential - where more than two entities are involved
• Political support• Senior officers’ agenda• The Champion
• Idea to construction - three to seven years
• Persevere – many blind alleys
