This report seeks member’s authorisation to target the funding on community and landscape projects. Financial implications: Expenditure is within the section 106 funds held in the Langage Landscape Fund and is proposed to be spent on projects within the terms of the section 106 agreement. RECOMMENDATIONS: That Executive agrees 1. to release up to £250,000 towards community landscape projects in accordance with the requirements of the Langage s.106 and details as set out in paragraph 2.1 2. to allocate up to £200,000 towards a proposed £3 million Heritage Lottery Fund bid for access, landscape and environmental improvements within the Plym Valley and 3. to note the new management arrangements for the Plymouth Green Infrastructure Partnership subject to existing funding from the Langage Landscape Fund.

  • WP 1702 Capacity Market
    The development of the Capacity Market for electricity in Great Britain Matthew Lockwood EPG Working Paper: 1702 Abstract: A Capacity Market (CM) for electricity was introduced in Great Britain in the early 2010s, with the first auctions being held in 2014. The CM has been controversial in its design and effects. In particular it has been seen as benefitting existing, often high-carbon, capacity and large incumbent generators, rather than new entrants and technologies, such as demand side response. More broadly, it is seen by some as working against, rather than for, the development of a low-carbon flexible future energy system. This paper traces the development of the Capacity Market as a policy process, with a particular focus on the influence of incumbents in that development. It is based on interviews with participants in and close observers of that process, and on a close reading of the policy process documentation, such as consultation submissions. The study of corporate influence in this case is complicated by the confluence of incumbent interests and political incentives facing government actors to keep the lights on. In the main decisions regarding the CM, including the decision to adopt a mechanism in the first place, and in deciding to have a market-wide approach, the incumbent lobby was split. However, in both these cases, the government’s decisions were in line with the wishes of, and used the arguments of the majority of incumbents. There is also evidence that incumbents lobbied effectively against a more supportive design of the CM for demand side response providers.

  • Annex D Major Events in the Energy Industry
    Annex D Major events in the Energy Industry 2020 Electricity In July 2020 construction work commenced on what is set to be the world’s longest electricity interconnector, linking the UK’s power system with Denmark. Due for completion in 2023, the 765-kilometre ‘Viking Link’ cable will stretch from Lincolnshire to South Jutland in Denmark. In July 2020 approval was granted for the Vanguard offshore wind farm in Norfolk. The 1.8GW facility consisting of up to 180 turbines will generate enough electricity to power 1.95 million homes. In May 2020 approval was granted for Britain’s largest ever solar farm at Cleve Hill, near Whitstable in Kent. The 350MW facility, comprising of 800.000 solar panels, will begin operation in 2022 and will provide power to around 91,000 homes. Energy Prices In February 2020 the energy price cap was reduced by £17 to £1,162 per year, from 1 April for the six-month “summer” price cap period. 2019 Climate Change The Government laid draft legislation in Parliament in early June 2019 to end the UK’s contribution to climate change, by changing the UK’s legally binding long-term emissions reduction target to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. The new target is based on advice from the government’s independent advisors, the Committee on Climate Change (CCC). The legislation was signed into law in late June 2019, following approval by the House of Commons and the House of Lords. Energy Policy A joint government-industry Offshore Wind Sector Deal was announced in March 2019, which will lead to clean, green offshore wind providing more than 30% of British electricity by 2030.
