Strategic energy
challenges we face Energy Challenges Adaptation
• 1/5 UK’s generation gone in 10 years.
• Global energy crisis and state of UK
economy.
• Demand on electricity is increasing.
• Doubling in costs for electricity and
increasing taxation on carbon.
• Which comes first SMART grid or the
SMART home?
• Two way power flows, demand side
management, reducing incentives and
dynamic energy tariffs.
• Community energy generation and
power of the people.

SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
What is a Smart Grid?
• Application of information and
communications technology to the ‘dumb’
electricity system
• Real time flow of information on the network
• Integrated demand management between
consumer, supplier and network operator
• Ability to shift demand, better manage the
network at peak times and consumers have
more control over their energy use

Plug and play? Challenges and
opportunities for decentralised energy
generation.
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
Why do this?
The Peoples’ Power Station
We have choices
1. Build more power stations
- everybody pays, but no-one
has to think
2. Manage the system most
efficiently
- everybody benefits, but only if
we all take responsibility and
communicate
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
We have the technology
• Energy efficiency – Using less
• Energy generation – Heat pumps, solar PV, solar thermal, CHP etc.
• Energy demand management – Used wisely
• Energy storage – Power when and where needed

Social landlords are the
key agents of change
• Optimal scale is area-based
• Already existing communities (behaviour
change has a significant part to play)
• The ‘PPS’ approach delivers social and
economic outcomes too
• You can start today (technologies will follow)
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
Can we do this?
• The key technologies exist today
• ICT and smart meters are a critical enabler
• ….but
• Community engagement is fundamental
• You need the right mix of buildings and
opprortunities (~1000 houses, District, Island)
• You need a supportive regulatory structure
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
What is already happening?
• The 500kW unit at Great Dunkilns Farm, St Briavels. -
funded by 300 local residents installed September
2012.
• Isle of Wight independent energy island
• Many PV projects around the country by housing
associations
• Eigg Electric is a community owned company which
provides electricity for all island residents from the
renewable sources
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
Next steps
National
• Continued liberalisation of regulations (slow)
• Funding for pilots (must be via local DNOs)
Regional
• Volunteer pilot community
• Partnership approach to develop investment case

Choosing a Green Deal
Role
Your options
• Green Deal Provider
• Green Deal Partner
• Green Deal Services
• Green Deal Producer
• Green Deal Promoter
• Not in the Green Deal
Things to consider
• Funding levels
• Legal implications
• Accreditation
• HECA requirements
• Responsibilities
• Are you sure?
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
Green Deal Provider
• You have to have the finance in place
• Green Deal finance has to be at <6%
• £350M ‘entry level’ (EIB) [£500M Deutsche Bank]
• Probably only room for 7 - 12 in the UK
• Big 6 Energy & Kingfisher/B&Q/Screwfix
• Other High Street Brands ??????
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
(Lead) Green Deal Partner
• The best way to achieve scale
• Crucial to Community Green Deal
• Smaller organisations will benefit
• Lead Partners need to be good at SPVs
• Legals will be more complex
• Operation will need dedicated management
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
Green Deal Services
• Customer Acquisition
• Assessment and Advice
• Specification development
• Installation Services
– Insulation
– Conventional Heating Systems
– Alternative Energy Systems
Green Deal:
• Code of Conduct
• Accreditation
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
Green Deal Producer
• Much more than just sign-posting
• Brokering Green Deal Activity
• Engaging multiple Green Deal Providers
• Maximising local benefits
• Maybe a useful response to HECA
• Only reputational risk to manage
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
Green Deal Promoter
• Probably the minimum LA response
• Only reputational risk to manage
• Satisfies HECA requirements
• Relevant if no retained stock
SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
Not in the Green Deal
• This assumes you either:
– Don’t have any buildings
– Don’t have any responsibility to building owners
– Have buildings that are as energy efficient as
they can be
In which case you are probably not a landlord or a
local authority

3,500 hard to treat
17 hi rise blocks
70 lo rise blocks
1,500 houses
2,500 still to do
(1000 work in progress)
about us "a truly outstanding housing
organisation dedicated to the
success of our neighbourhoods
and people."
In the last eight years we have invested over £350
million in our homes and we have developed a
range of services that go beyond our traditional
role as a landlord. We own 19,000 properties and
we work hard to make sure that they are well
managed and maintained so that our customers
can enjoy them in safety and comfort.
We have set a new and challenging mission for our
work during 2011-2014, which is to be ‘a truly
outstanding housing organisation dedicated to the
success of our neighbourhoods and people’.
Over the next three years we will continue to
change and grow.
whg overarching solution

SOCIAL HOUSING – DELIVERING THE COMMUNITY GREEN DEAL THE GREEN DEAL SUMMIT – 31 OCTOBER 2012
To ensure the effective dissemination of information it is the intention of this
and other West Midlands based bids that Sustainable Housing Action
Partnership (SHAP) gather, analyse and disseminate evaluation findings from
the funded projects in the region to maximise the benefit.
The elements are shown below:
1. Capture the ambitions and planned activities from all West Midlands project bids to
DECC and identify additional synergies which could be explored.
2. Review the ambitions and proposed activities in the WM bids submitted against those
which are successful - for the benefit of designing future projects and informing ongoing
projects.
3. Monitor and report on those interim evaluation findings, including any barriers to
delivery and engagement, that are shared with us during March 2013
4. Hold a dissemination event for all participating WM Local Authorities before the end of
March 2013 to discuss findings from project evaluations.
5. Produce a draft report by the end of March on lessons learnt, any early indications on
behavioural change, publicising innovation and good practice case studies.
6. Establish a mechanism for Local Authorities to share their finalised evaluations with
other WM Local Authorities after the end of March 2013, to inform an on-going learning
network.
