    ESTABLISHING A LOCAL AUTHORITY MARKET FOR GREEN POWER ETSU/K/BD/00187/REP Contractor ESD Ltd Prepared by A Turnbull N Evans The work described in this report was carried out under contract as part of the New and Renewable Energy Programme, managed by the Energy Technology Support Unit (ETSU) on behalf of the Department of Trade and Industry. The views and judgements expressed in this report are those of the contractor and do not necessarily reflect those of ETSU or the Department of Trade and Industry First Published 1999 © Crown Copyright 1999 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The aim of this project is to establish how to maximise the potential local authority (LA) market for green power by examining the procurement and supply issues, and identifying ways to overcome the potential barriers faced both by LAs (as purchasers) and potential green electricity suppliers. To do this, it is important to understand how LAs normally procure goods and services and how power suppliers normally supply electricity. Once these two processes are understood, it is much easier to understand the issues for a LA wishing to procure green energy and for a power supplier wishing to provide green electricity, instead of buying or supplying conventional electricity. The first stage of the project was to assess the procurement processes of the LAs. This review of LA energy procurement processes resulted in a report covering the following: • background to LA structure and how this may influence procurement practices; • the liberalised market opportunities for renewable energy; • current purchasing arrangements, particularly the important role of the Standing Order; • data requirements for LAs preparing tenders; • options for, and barriers to, purchasing green energy; • conclusions, covering how the current procurement practices can be adapted to promote the procurement of green energy.

  • Electralink Response

Ground Floor Grafton House 2/3 Golden Square London W1F 9HR Tel: 020 7432 3000 Fax: 020 7432 3015 www.electralink.co.uk Andrew Wallace Ofgem 9 Millbank London SW1P 3GE 8 August 2014 Dear Andrew Re: Moving to reliable next-day switching ElectraLink Ltd is pleased to respond to Ofgem’s consultation titled ‘Moving to reliable next-day switching’ published 16 June 2014. In accordance with our role as provider of the Data Transfer Service (DTS) to the GB electricity market we have focused our response on those areas most closely aligned with our experience, knowledge and core competencies. Where are the Delays in Supplier Switching? The issues surrounding the duration of the supplier switching process identified by Ofgem in this consultation are clearly not confined to ‘central’ systems. From an electricity market perspective, ElectraLink considers that it is the processes and procedures set out in the Master Registration Agreement (MRA) that primarily determine the time taken to affect a Supplier event rather than the technology that underpins these processes. In particular, delays to switching are not related to the time taken to exchange data on the DTS between parties. The DTS transfers data between electricity market participants in minutes and can be re-configured to accommodate industry process changes, including message prioritization at either the application layer or the network layer to accelerate transfers to seconds if required. ElectraLink Ltd Registered No: 3271981. VAT Registration No: 698 2336 89. Reg Off: Ground Floor, Grafton House, 2-3 Golden Square, London W1F 9HR FS 559738 EMS 559739 Business Process Re-design Ofgem has identified three key implementation stages for the proposed reform package.

What follows are our recommendations for consideration by the Conservative frontbench, the Conservative Party more widely, and the large number of people outside who are looking for solutions that break away from current political restrictions. It is not for us to define Conservative policy but what we have proposed here sits firmly in the Tory tradition. Since its inception the Conservative Party has recognised that, if it is to uphold its continuing principles in a changing world, those principles have to be applied in a contemporary way so that they are relevant to a new generation. The remit of the Group was to consider holistically the issues of the built environment; rural life; food, farming, fishing and the marine environment; transport; energy; waste; and water.

In domestic scenarios (profile Classes 1-4) with modern Smart Metering Equipment Technical Specification (SMETS) compliant metering systems, Import and Export of Electricity can be managed by the same meter. Different Suppliers can be responsible for the Imported energy and the Exported energy. The Import Supplier is responsible for; 1. Supply of energy to the customer 2. Asset rental payments for the Meter 3. Maintenance and repair of the Meter 4. Appointment of the Meter Operator Agent (MOA) The Export Supplier is responsible for; 1. Purchase of surplus energy from the customer Ecotricity cited several examples where they have struggled to correctly identify the appointed MOA.

  • Purpose of the Register
    Science and Mathematics Education Centre Systemic Sustainability Reporting in Educational Institutions: a comparative investigation into sustainability reporting on secondary science school websites in England Anthony Noel Percival Dowsett This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University February 2013 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Abstract There is increasing discussion on the issues of resource use and sustainability in society in general and in education in particular. The United Nations (UN) organisation and the United Kingdom (UK) government, similar to other Western Nations around the world (Australasian, European, North American), are engaging with sustainable development issues and the need for education to addressing the challenge this presents. Increasingly, education institutions, corporations and non-governmental bodies are taking on the agenda of sustainability reporting. This is to meet legislative requirements, provide leadership, demonstrate commitment to transparency and address concerns for stakeholder accountability. The issue of accountability and transparency in the operation of many educational institutions is under greater scrutiny and consideration. A major area for investigation and research is the increased use by institutions of the medium of the internet to function as an outlet for information reporting to stakeholders and interested parties. This thesis investigates secondary school websites in England to review their sustainability activities in a systemic way and assess their level in terms of sustainability initiatives, including transparency and accountability to their constituent stakeholders.

    Energy in Buildings and Industry and the Energy Institute are delighted to have teamed up to bring you this Continuing Professional Development initiative MARK THROWER MANAGING EDITOR SERIES 15 | MODULE 08 | ENERGY PURCHASING Purchasing energy By Paul Bennett, executive chairman of BSSEC nergy is the lifeblood of Figure 1: Energy market forces commerce, business and industry. Organisations are now spending more on energy E than they have ever done before, and, energy spend will only go in one direction in the future – up. Therefore, the purchasing of energy is a vital activity in the energy management and procurement profession. In this CPD article we will take a look at the energy markets and how legislation is impacting future pricing of energy. We will look at the two predominant energy sources of electricity and gas and how these markets operate and consider the information needed to procure energy in these markets. Finally, we will look at practical steps to take when procuring energy. There are many factors that afect energy markets and their price and year carbon budgets have also been Traded Commodity – Energy is stability including: set until 2032, which act as milestones a commodity that is traded on the Global Supply – Global energy to achieve the 2050 reduction targets stock exchange, meaning that prices producers such as Saudi Arabia and set by the CCA.

  • (By Email) Our Ref: MGLA290620-6126 4 August 2020
    (By email) Our Ref: MGLA290620-6126 4 August 2020 Dear Thank you for your request for information which the Greater London Authority (GLA) received on 29 June 2020. Your request has been considered under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I am sorry for the late response. You requested: Could you send to me all of the emails that have been exchanged between Ecotricity and GLA staff/appointees over the last four years? How many times have Ecotricity met with people who work at the GLA? Who did they meet and on what date? Our response to your request is as follows: We have not located any records of meetings. Please find attached the emails that we hold within the scope of your request. We have made some minor redactions: Two of the documents contain detailed unit pricing information which has been redacted. Bank account details have also been redacted. This information being withheld under section 43 (2) (Commercial interests) of the FOIA. Section 43(2) provides that information can be withheld from release if its release would, or would be likely to, prejudice the commercial interests of any person. A commercial interest relates to a person’s ability to participate competitively in a commercial activity and in this instance, the information is commercially sensitive to Ecotricity because the release of the pricing details would harm their interests by giving competitors an advantage and the release of bank account details would increase the risk of someone being able to fraudulently access the accounts. The GLA recognises the legitimate public interest in the release of information relating to the use of public money – noting that the total amounts spent have not been redacted, which addresses this interest.

  • Competition Act 1998 Non-Infringement Decision of The
    Competition Act 1998 Non-infringement Decision of the Gas and Electricity Markets Authority Investigation into EDFE’s alleged abuse of dominance by refusing to supply meter data services This is the non-confidential version of this non-infringement decision. Confidential information and data contained in the original version have been redacted. Redactions are indicated by [excised] or, where practicable, excised information has been substituted by alternative wording in [ ]. SUMMARY 1. The Gas and Electricity Markets Authority (the “Authority”) has concluded that EDF Energy plc (“EDFE”) has not infringed section 18 (the “Chapter II prohibition”) of the Competition Act 1998 (the “Act”) or Article 82 of the EC Treaty (“Article 82”) in relation to its decision to withdraw data collection and data aggregation services (together “meter data services”) from electricity suppliers that are not affiliated to EDFE. 2. The Authority’s decision follows an investigation prompted by complaints submitted from energywatch, and two other complainants, arising from the actions of EDFE. In particular, it was alleged that EDFE's actions were foreclosing the electricity supply market for small suppliers and that this was harmful to competition. 3. The existence of a dominant position is a pre-requisite for the application of the Chapter II prohibition and Article 82. This decision sets out the Authority’s finding that EDFE does not hold a dominant position in a relevant market for the purposes of those provisions. 4. The Authority notes that the complainants
