Conclusions
• Cambridgeshire is doing well – especially renewable electricity
• There is potential for more – solar, biomass, heat pumps, wind
• All technologies are needed – heat and electricity
• Somewhere between medium & high scenarios delivers by 2031
• Also closes carbon gap to meet pro-rata 4th carbon budget
• Significant investment potential – up to £6.1 billion for high scenario

Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 16
Community deployment potential
• PV• 145MWp, 1,150,000m² of panels
• 460 non-residential buildings and 30,400 houses (14%)
• Solar water heating• 42,600m² of panels on 8,500 houses (4%)
• Heat pumps• 43,000 or 15% of houses
• Wind• 75MW or 30 turbines
16
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 17
Vision for community delivery pathway
• Communities have strong incentive to invest in renewable energy• Effective hard and soft incentive mechanisms
• Minimisation of risks and barriers to implementation
• Communities have access to a range of funding sources• Availability of applicable finance options for a range of project types
• Gaining access to existing and new funding sources
• Communities are maximising learning from leading practice• Demonstration case studies of successful community energy schemes
• Access to quality impartial ‘self-help’ guidance and information
17
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study
Vision for community delivery pathway
• Communities are managing energy projects effectively• Identification of governance methods and relative benefits of each approach
• Range of delivery options identified
• Investment and delivery opportunities are clearly communicated

Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 19
Public sector deployment potential
• PV• 39MWp, 300,00m² of panels
• 180 non-residential buildings and 7,500 houses (18%)
• Solar water heating• 8,400m² of panels on 1,700 houses (4%)
• Heat pumps• 8,100 or 20% of houses
• Wind• 27MW or 11 turbines
• Biomass• 14 installations of 1.5MW
19
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 20
Vision for public sector pathway
• Public sector is maximising value of its own hard assets• PV on roofs of offices, schools, hospitals, leisure centres
• PV in social housing – own stock, ALMO and with housing association partners
• Appropriate wind development on public sector assets
• Provision of anchor loads for district heating and CHP
• Renewable energy transition plan for each building
• Demonstration projects for advanced technologies and new approaches
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 21
Vision for public sector pathway
• Public sector is maximising value from its soft assets• Planning policies – LDF, LDO, s106, CIL
• Enabling mechanisms – community energy fund, grant funding
• Public sector led development – de-risking projects, early project promotion
• Political engagement – FIT, RHI and Green Deal policy certainty, tariffs, etc.
• Market development – awareness raising, pipeline development for Green Deal

Commercial deployment potential
• PV• 160MWp, 1,300,000m² of panels
• 3,200 non-residential buildings
• Solar water heating• 8,300m² of panels on 1,700 or 20% of buildings
• Heat pumps• 200 or 3% of buildings
• Wind• For wind parks ≤5 turbines, 28MW or 11 turbines
• For wind parks ≥6 turbines, 375MW or 150 turbines
• Biomass• 14 installations of 1.5MW

Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 24
Vision for commercial delivery pathway
• Investment opportunities are clearly identified• Technical, economic and deployment potential based on WP1
• Benefits of growth agenda are articulated
• Preconditions are clearly understood by public and private sector + community
• Public sector is facilitating investment• Establishing clear public policies and protocols to provide market certainty
• Engaging in constructive dialogue with community
• Using its own assets to lever wider opportunities
Cambridgeshire Renewables Infrastructure Framework baseline study 25
Vision for commercial delivery pathway
• Investment is flowing, projects being developed• Cambridgeshire seen as county with good renewable energy development
potential
• Cambridgeshire demonstrated to be investor-friendly
• Supply chain is in place, levels of risk and return meet minimum commercial requirements
• Constructive dialogue, community benefiting and accepting

What will the pathways look like or include?
• Compelling vision of what can be achieved
• Shared understanding of barriers and risks to implementation
• Cambridgeshire benefiting from up to £6.5bn of investment
• Local businesses are providing goods and services to the sector
• Leading county where people choose to invest
• Consistent and pro-active policy framework is adopted
• The public sector takes the lead
• Project plan for shared decision making
