The start of the Electric Corby story• Corby has approved growth that will double the population from 50,000 to

100,000 by 2030, part of the growth plans for North Northamptonshire where we already have consent to build 24,000 new homes - the biggest single growth area outside London

• The Electric Corby vision starts with Priors Hall Park and is to leverage that growth to develop new sustainable living and transport – a blueprint for future living

• To become the practical R&D centre for energy efficient living and low carbon vehicles that will in turn attract key players and importantly employment to match the population growth

• Northamptonshire is more than the UK’s biggest growth area outside London; it is the centre of the UK’s high performance engineering sector, focusing on lower carbon solutions:

– World leading engine and powertrain engineering companies such as Cosworth, Ilmor Engineering, Mahle Powertrain, Mercedes, RML and Flybrid

– Lightweight materials innovation centre at Scott Bader

– Icon innovation centre at Daventry for sustainable construction

Electric

Part of Midlands Plugged In Places

• Cenex – Department for Business, Innovation and Skills supported centre of excellence for low carbon and fuel cell technologies for transport applications

• Cenex recognised the opportunity and included Corby in the Midlands Plugged in Places programme (one of eight regional PIPs across the UK)

• Priors Hall Park was included as the only national PiP location for domestic vehicle charging

Electric Corby addresses both vehicles and infrastructure

Electric

Part of Midlands Plugged In Places• Cenex joined Corby Borough Council and BeLa Partnership (20,000 consented

new homes including Priors Hall) to form the Electric Corby partnership, acting as the “critical friend”. The partners developed this vision for Electric Corby:

– Infrastructure (through Midlands PIP) - charging points by major employers led by CBC at key public “flagship” locations such as the railway station

– Priors Hall Park (5,000 new sustainable homes in village developments): An Introductory offer for 2012 home buyers has been developed:

• Free EV for one year and home charger (with unwanted car disposal process)• Free smart home energy management control to reduce electricity use to offset

increased demand from EV charging– Important additional EV use for car sharing pools, key employers and distribution &

logistics companies based in the town, adding commercial vehicles to the scope – Specific initiatives for those residents less able or willing to own a vehicle

The practical R&D centre for energy efficient living and low carbon vehicle

Electric

Electric Corby Evolution• It quickly became apparent that without addressing smoothing of

supply we would be papering over the cracks; we started to explore the possibilities of a smart grid and a low carbon network

• We are now addressing bigger issues that have moved the project from EV mobility and future transportation to future living:– Grid management

– Sustainable electricity generation

– Domestic energy management

– Industrial energy management

– Low carbon transport, commercial and retail

• We are now selecting partners and supporters to join the project and help realise our vision Electric

The initial plan

Source: Siemens

Electric Corby now• Installing public charging infrastructure throughout the Borough and

private charge points at Priors Hall Park houses

• We will have c.200 households living in “smart” homes and using electric cars at Priors Hall Park – a valuable opportunity to understand impact on lifestyles, travel, energy costs and the grid

• Part of a pan-European project proposal addressing EV use in the distribution and logistics sector, supporting Corby firms trialling EVs

• Working with Cenex to ensure that Government understands the opportunity for a “kick start stimulant” for sustainable homes and jobs, not just housing numbers

– And the need to join up the circle by addressing electricity management to compensate for increased EV charging demand:

– EV subsidy - promotes EV ownership– PIP - provides charging infrastructure– ??? - how will Government incentivise “smart” home electricity management?

Electric

Electric Corby - summary"The Electric Corby project is unique and provides a focal point for the integration of new technologies, processes and services to promote sustainable living. The combination of a strong regional development plan with the building of highly efficient homes and commercial properties provides the perfect platform to develop, test and demonstrate that energy efficient living can be affordable and effective at an individual, community and regional level.

Sustainability is the cornerstone of all Siemens' activities. As Europe’s largest engineering company, Siemens is pleased to offer its support to the Electric Corby project and to help shape this initiative to make Corby the centre for smart energy living.”

Management of optimal financial and carbon relationships trade offs that

drive sustainable corporate initiatives

The Carbon Management Maturity Model

Business Drivers - External

• Government Action– The Carbon Reduction Commitment (CRC) start in 2009

which requires certain companies to report.

• Customer Demands– Many large organisations are now adding sections to their

supply contracts and tenders requiring information, and more importantly action by suppliers

• Corporate Social Responsibility– The major change in corporate positioning is to implement

Corporate Social Responsibility policies and strategies. Managing carbon emissions should be a significant part of any CSR strategy.

Business Drivers - Financial

• Its Good for Business– Many organisations are looking at climate change as having

a negative impact on their business. Early adopters however are reducing costs and strengthening their market positions.

• Cost of Late Adoption– The early signs of a skilled resource shortage are appearing.

Companies who adopt late will pay a premium.

• Carbon Trading – EU ETS– All companies will face some exposure to increased energy

So, what are your options?

Travel Quotes for Travel Plans...

• “One’s destination is never a place, but a new way of seeing things.” – Henry Miller

• “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” – Mark Twain

• “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

The Concept of a Travel Plan

A travel plan is a long term travel management strategy for an organisation or site, builton an appropriate package of measures aimed at promoting sustainable travel, with anemphasis on reducing reliance on single occupancy car journeys.
