The West Cumbria Energy Compass
• Supports the West Cumbria Economic Blueprint
• Provides a detailed assessment of regional: - Energy Demand - Energy Sources - Energy Vision and Strategies - Energy Systems - Financial Assessments
• Presents recommendations and next steps

Vision for the current phase of Heat Network development:
“Deliver a suite of investment grade heat network opportuni es in partnership with the investment community that by the end of December 14 can enable the programme to move into a heat network infrastructure procurement phase through an appropriate SPV/ESCo and EPC contract”
- Make best use of available energy resources - Demand driven - Enables accelerated delivery to ‘pipes in the ground’

Summary
• Demand driven study - 40% technical and 60% commercial
• Make best use of locally available resources
• Get investment grade propositions available to rapidly deliver ‘pipes in the ground’
• Build up the network over time using a ‘cluster’ approach with consideration of ‘temporary’ heat sources.
