2 Urban Foresight

1 Introduction In 2020, Urban Foresight were commissioned by Applecross Community Company (ACC) to undertake a feasibility study on the installation of public electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Applecross and its integration with the 90kW community hydro turbine scheme.

The feasibility study was split into two Phases: Phase 1 - feasibility of installing EV charge point(s) in Applecross along with associated infrastructure and battery storage and Phase 2 - Detailed designs of the recommended charging infrastructure.

The Phase 1 feasibility study report was completed in summer 2020, Applecross EV Charging Feasibility Study.

This document is focused on Phase 2, with the following sections summarising the design considerations and next steps for ACC to advance to the recommended charge point configuration.

2 Overview This section provides a summary of the key outcomes in Phase 1 and the subsequent follow-up work undertaken to recommend options for site configuration and spatial design of the proposed equipment.

Recommended charger configuration It was recommended in the Phase 1 report that a mix hub comprised of a Rapid (50kW) charger and a Fast (7kW) charger would be the most suitable makeup of chargers, supporting the needs of both residents and tourists.

Furthermore, integration of a battery storage solution was identified as the only realistic option to integrate the electricity generated by the local hydro scheme. However, without 3-phase power available within the area, a soft market engagement exercise concluded that the ability for a battery storage system to upgrade a single-phase supply to three-phase supply is not yet readily available, despite acknowledging it was technically possible.

Subsequently, Urban Foresight has since formed a consortium of technical partners to seek funding for the development and commercialisation of the Community Rapid & Renewable Energy hub (CoRRE hub) concept. This solution will essentially maximise the integration of locally generated renewable energy and enable rapid charging in grid constrained areas, using a localised battery to store and upscale incoming power from single-phase to 3-phase power.

Urban Foresight and their consortium are currently in ongoing discussions with Transport Scotland and ACC to secure funding to develop the CoRRE Hub solution.

Recommended site Following a high-level desk-based exercise, and consultation with ACC during Phase 1, 8 proposed locations for charging infrastructure were initially identified within close proximity to the hydro turbine (see Figure 1).

Figure 1 Proposed locations taken forward for discussion and analysis.

Following further consultation with Applecross residents, The Applecross Trust, and SSE, options G and H were concluded to be the most suitable locations for EV equipment in the Phase 1 report. These were deemed the most suitable options due to the visibility, space available, location to the main road and proximity to proposed residential and commercial units.

However, subsequent conversations between ACC and The Applecross Trust have determined that Option D would in fact be the most suitable site after consideration of future developments in the local vicinity. Figure 2 provides an overview of where chargers can be installed and the recommended footprint for the ideal, a mixed hub of 1 Rapid (50kW) 1 Fast (7kW) charger connected to a battery storage solution.

Figure 2 Proposed location for the EV chargers within Option D (source: Apple Maps)

3 Staged Development As identified in the Phase 1 report the ideal make up of chargers on the site would be 1 50kW rapid charger and 1 7kW Fast charger. However, due to the lack of three phase power in the area, and the current lack of a technical solution to convert single-phase to three-phase power we recommend that ACC take a staged approach to the installation and development of charging infrastructure. We have therefore split the recommended development into two Stages, with two options proposed for Stage 2.

It is recommended that ACC progress with Stage 1 of the project when funding becomes available. This will allow Applecross to begin their EV charger journey but can ‘future-proof’ in achieving either option 1 or 2 in Stage 2.

A future decision on whether to progress either options 1 or 2 in the future will be based on ongoing discussions with Applecross Community Company, Transport Scotland and Urban Foresight in relation to securing funding for the proposed innovative elements of Stage 2 - option 2.

The following sections provide a description of each of the Stage/options and the potential associated costs.

5 Urban Foresight

Stage 1 The first stage includes installation a double 7kW fast charger on the site. This can be connected to the available power, which is currently limited to a single-or split-phase connection. This will be sufficient to support the requirements of a 7kW charger, but will not support rapid charging equipment, which require at least a 3-phase connection.

Figure 3 Phase 1 site configuration

It is recommended that this phase of the project is installed to facilitate future developments as detailed in both Stage 2 options in this report. This will not initially be connected to the hydro scheme but will encourage both visitors and residents to make the switch to an electric vehicle.

The total cost to install the chargers is £23,378.96. Fully costed and detailed quotes are attached in Appendix I from our technical partner Swarco, as well as the formal DNO quote from SSE (Appendix II) and allows Applecross to go ahead and utilise existing funding to install chargers in the area.

Table 1 Stage 1 total cost, quotes provided by Swarco and SSE

Item Cost VAT Total Cost

DNO Quote £ 1,311.96 £262.39 £1,574.35

Supply & install Quotation £22,067.00 £4,413.40 £26,480.40

Total Costs £23,378.96 £4,675.79 £28,054.75

6 Urban Foresight

Stage 2 – Option 1 This option has been identified as a possible option if no technical solution arrives or the area continues to have a lack of 3-phase power available. This Stage involves installing an additional 7kW charger in the remaining spaces, as well as then connecting the local hydro scheme to an onsite battery storage scheme. This will allow for all 4 charging points to operate at maximum power from the grid connection as well as maximising the utilisation of the electricity generated by the hydro scheme.

Figure 4 Stage 2 – Option 1 design spec

To install the additional elements the estimated additional costs are detailed in Table 2. However, a formal site survey, costing and technical assessment would be required to finalise design and costs.

Table 2 Stage 2 additional costs.

Element Cost

Additional 7kW Charger (including maintenance and warranty) £4,500

60 kWh Battery Storage System £68,000

Connection to hydro scheme £11,000

Associated Civils and connections £14,500

Design & contingency (10%) £9,800

Total Estimated Costs £107,800

7 Urban Foresight

Stage 2 – Option 2 To make best use of the available hydro scheme and provide Applecross with the best mix of chargers for both residents and tourists it is recommended that the solution identified in the CoRRE hub proposal be developed and implemented on site.

This solution would see the installation of a rapid charger next to the fast charger installed in Phase 1 alongside a battery storage solution and solar canopies and a connection to the local hydro scheme.

The total cost of this solution is as yet unknown as the technical solution is still in development, however Urban Foresight as working with Transport Scotland to try and identify funding to deliver this first of a kind innovative solution in Applecross.

Total estimated hardware costs £240,000

R&D costs £300,000-£400,000

CoRRE Hub commercialisation & development £150,000

Total Concept Costs £690,000 - £790,000

4 Preparing for Stage 1 Detailed quotes to take forward Stage 1 have been gathered from our technical partner, Swarco (Appendix I) and SSE (Appendix II). The decision on proceeding with these quotes is at the discretion of ACC.

The following sections provide further planning and operational information for ACC to consider.

Planning It is recommended that ACC consult with their local planning department, while the Phase 1 proposal is likely to fall under Permitted Development an initial discussion will clarify this position and also identify how best to proceed with either option 1 or 2 for Stage 2 in the future.

Back Office & Tariffs It is recommended that as part of the procurement exercise for the initial 7kw charger that Applecross introduce a tariff in line with local tariffs and that ensure that all operating costs are covered.

The costs identified in Phase 1 include 5-year warranty, maintenance and data charges, however there may be some unplanned maintenance costs that are required due to damage or misuse.

Applecross Community Company should also consider how they will insure the assets.

Applecross will also be required to identify an energy supplier for the site who will supply the power and arrange for the meter to be installed.

Future Demand & Income Due to the majority of the initial running costs being included in the capital costs of the project, then Applecross will have a 5-year period to build up the level of demand to meet the ongoing revenue costs after that period.

Utilising the most recent data available it is estimated that the charge point will initially receive approximately 624 sessions a year with an expected power usage of 4,757 kWh following the installation of the Phase 1 element. However, it is expected that this will increase following the installation as more locals and visitors have the confidence to visit the location in EVs.

Western Isles £0.20 per kWh £950.97 £1,497.60

Moray £3.80 per session £2,371.20 £2,371.20

Dundee £0.38 connection & £0.15 per kWh

£948.48 £1,360.32

This letter including all attached pages (the detailed charge breakdown, acceptance, and terms and conditions) is our offer to provide what you have requested and is based on the information you have given us. This is not an all-inclusive price. There are additional works that you will have to arrange and pay for, as explained in the following section headed, "What you need to do." Full Payment is due on acceptance of this offer. A full breakdown of charges is shown on page 4. This offer is dependent on securing all necessary planning consents and land rights to carry out the works and extend our network as planned. If this is not possible we will need to revise the offer. This offer is open for acceptance until 15 Mar 2021, or until we withdraw it. If you are not ready to accept and decide to let this offer lapse, we can provide a revised offer at a later date on request. We plan to complete the work within a maximum of three months following your acceptance of this offer. If you are not ready for connection and energisation within this period, we may terminate the contract. Once energised, we will be responsible for maintaining your connection and be available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to repair any fault on our network up to the meter point.

The price for carrying out the requested connection works is: £1,574.35

This price may increase as we put in place social distancing measures to comply with guidance relating to the coronavirus pandemic. See here for

I have included a drawing with this offer illustrating the connection works. We will:

• Request planning consents and land rights to carry out the works and extend our network to your premises.

• Excavate and reinstate ground works for cable from our existing network to the outside wall of your building, adjacent to the agreed termination position.

• Lay new cable, including pulling it through ducting, and connect it to our network.

• Terminate the new service within your premises at the agreed termination position. Once we have agreed a date for the works we will provide you with a Meter Point Administration Number (MPAN). This number will uniquely identify your connection on the electricity distribution network.

You will need to:

• Register your MPAN with your chosen electricity supplier, and book an appointment with them for the meter to be installed. You should allow a minimum of 28 days for this. Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks cannot install meters. Meter installation must be arranged by your chosen supplier and can only be carried out after we have completed our works. You can compare electricity prices and choose a supplier via https://energycompare.citizensadvice.org.uk

• Arrange for excavation and reinstatement of cable trenching where shown on the included drawing.

• Arrange installation of ducting, where required, for us to pull our cable through.

• Carry out building works for cable intake and arrange preparation of a suitable internal position to accommodate our termination and your supplier's meter.

I have included a guide for the on site works you need to arrange. You must ensure that any electrical installation work beyond your supplier’s meter is carried out by a qualified electrical contractor to the requirements of the current IET Wiring Regulations.

The following reasons may lead to an increase in the price of the connection works. This is not a complete list:

• Changes in our prices due to the cost of putting in place control measures that ensure we have appropriate procedures in place to comply with applicable legislation and the latest government and regulatory guidance relating to the coronavirus pandemic.

• Fees and expenses associated with securing planning consents and land rights to carry out the works and extend our network as planned.

• Redesign of the connection works where it is not possible to secure planning consents and land rights to extend our network as planned.

• Any changes you make to your requirements.

• Aborted visits. If you are not ready when we attend your site on a pre-agreed date, we will levy an abortive call charge of £150.

• Fees charged by the highway authority for permission to carry out street works.
