Draft Heat Generation Policy Statement and the Scotland Heat Map

Suzie Le Miere & Hugh Muschamp Heat, Energy Efficiency and Low Carbon Investment Scottish Government

2020 Innovation & Built Environment Sub Group30 June 2014

Scottish Government policy context

Climate Change Act (Scotland) 2009•at least 42% carbon emissions reductions by 2020 and 80% reductions by 2050, compared to 1990

Energy Efficiency•To reduce total final energy consumption in Scotland by 2020 by 12% (2005-7 baseline)

Renewable Energy•100% of Scotland’s electricity demand and 11% of heat demand from renewables by 2020. •at least 100,000 homes to have adopted some form of individual or community renewable heat technology

Fuel Poverty•aim to ensure that by November 2016, so far as is reasonably practicable, people are not living in fuel poverty in Scotland

Draft Heat Generation Policy Statement• Published on 4 March

• Parliamentary Debate on 6 March“Maximising the Opportunities for Scotland from District Heating a Decarbonising the Heat system; www.scottish.parliament.uk

• Closed 9 June 2014

Heat accounts for over half the energy demand in Scotland

Draft HGPS looking to 2050• Identifies four key challenges:

– Largely decarbonising our heat system by 2050 with significant progress by 2030;

– Increasing heat security and reducing reliance on fossil fuels

– Reducing the pressure on household energy bills, in particular for fuel poor

– Seizing the economic opportunities that are presented from the transition to achieve the above.

Draft HGPS: Heat hierarchy

Including...•Energy Efficiency Standard for Socal Housing (introduced Spring 2014)•Potential savings for tenants of £130m per annum•Building regulations – new standards from 2015 reducing emissions:

– By 21% in new homes

– By 43% in new non-domestic buildings

•Regulations for the energy performance of existing non-domestic buildings; •Resource Efficient Scotland programme for organisations

Reducing the need for heat

• A target of 40,000 homes to benefit from affordable low carbon heat from district heating, part of an overall target of 1.5 TWh of heat to be delivered by district heating by 2020, to both domestic and non-domestic properties.

• Increasing funding for the District Heating Loan Fund by over £4 million, making £8 million available over the two years 2014 to 2016.

• A Scotland heat map • District Heating Action Plan and • the Heat Network Partnership for Scotland

District heating in the Draft HGPS

District Heating Action

• Scottish Government– Consultation on new targets for district heating (

http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/03/2778)

– Article 14 of the Energy Efficiency Directive on Promotion of efficiency in heating and cooling (http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/01/4430)

– SEPA will investigate potential for additional data to be requested through PPC and the SPRI

– Article 9, 10 and 11 of the Energy Efficiency Directive of Heat Metering and Billing (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/implementing-the-energy-efficiency-directive-metering-and-billing-of-heating-and-cooling)

– Input to Independent Heat Customer Protection Scheme Steering Committee (http://www.heatcustomerprotection.co.uk)

Low carbon and Renewable heat in the draft HGPS• Decarbonisation of heat in industry activity

• Launch of the domestic RHI and expansion of the non-domestic RHI in Spring 2014

• Continuation of in-home advice

• April 2014: Announced Extension of the Home Renewable Loans with £4m boost

• Resource Efficient Scotland SME loans continue

• Geothermal

“Cities will be exemplars of low carbon living and a focus for essential energy infrastructure”

“New development should be future-proofed to ensure that connections to existing orplanned heat networks are taken forward as soon as they are viable.”

National planning Framework 3

A Low Carbon Place - Delivering Heat & Electricity

Planning must facilitate the transition to a low carbon economy contributing to delivering by 2020

Scottish Planning Policy

• Local Development Plans should:o Use heat mapping to identify

opportunitieso Give policy support for developing of

heat networks o Identify where heat networks would be

appropriateo seek to ensure an area's full potential

for electricity and heat from renewable sources is achieved http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/06/5823

We all need heat

•To heat and cool buildings

• Hot water and cooking

• As heat and cooling for industry

Heat - who is interested?• Economic Development

– Built Environment • Low carbon and renewable heat• Heat as a financial opportunity• Manufacture, construction and

maintenance– Innovation

• Heat network development• Identifying opportunity for new

technology

Heat information

What information would we like to know?

•How much heat or cooling is needed (demand)?

•How much heat or cooling can be provided (supply)?

•Are there any opportunities or constraints?

Energy Storage

Unused excess heat

Renewable energy

Options: a Heat network or individual solution?

Heat map uses

• National Policy, models and statistical tools

• Strategic and local planning

• Site identification / opportunity

• Detailed feasibility / network expansion, funding
