Brighton and Hove City Council Renewable And BRIGHTON AND HOVE CITY COUNCIL RENEWABLE AND SUSTAINABLE ENERGY STUDY STAKEHOLDER WORKSHOP – 26th March 2013 “... a great opportunity to help shape the future of sustainable energy in Brighton & Hove.” 1. Overview 1.1 Background Brighton & Hove City Council commissioned Environmental Consultants AECOM to produce a renewable and sustainable energy study for the city for the period to 2030. The study is the most thorough investigation ever undertaken into renewable and sustainable energy generation potential and carbon reduction in buildings in the city. The primary purpose of the study is to investigate the potential for delivering local carbon reductions relating to buildings in Brighton and Hove and to provide an evidence base to support carbon reduction projects and policy. The study has three focus areas: Low and zero carbon energy generation identifying opportunity areas for low and zero carbon energy technologies and testing theviability of heat networks; New buildings projecting emissions from new development over the period of the City Plan and testing draft City Plan policies relating to carbon reduction; Existing buildings investigating the potential for energy efficiency measures and microgeneration in existing buildings. The council is consulting on the findings of the study in order to prioritise action. A series of workshops are being held in the spring of 2013 to prioritise key actions and projects to take forward in the city. The workshops include: Key council officers March 1st 2013 City Stakeholders March 26th 2013 Elected Councillors May 1st 2013 Outcomes of the workshops will inform the Zero Carbon work for Brighton & Hove’s One Planet Living Plan. 1.2 Purpose of the workshop The stakeholder workshop was promoted as “a great opportunity to help shape the future of sustainable energy in Brighton & Hove” allowing key stakeholders to: offer feedback on the study and suggested options provide their expert views on what the next steps should be prioritise potential projects. 2 1.3 Workshop format The stakeholder workshop was facilitated in two distinct sessions. 1. Methodology of the energy study and its key findings presented by Matthew Turner and Mary Livingstone, consultants and report authors from AECOM: PowerPoint presentation of the report and an opportunity for clarifications and brief questions from participants Main Council Chamber, Brighton Town Hall 2.00 to 3.20 pm 2. Participatory consultation on the study, key findings and suggested options facilitated by Ben Messer from Food Matters: Participatory ‘gallery’-style consultation on 5 key themes arising from the study Committee Rooms 2 and 3, Brighton Town Hall 3.30 to 5.00 pm Appendix 1 gives a list of all workshop participants 2. Key Outputs Following the energy study presentation in the Main Council Chamber participants moved to the committee rooms. Five questions were presented in the two rooms using five different participatory tools displayed on flip-charts on the walls. Each question dealt with a specific theme arising from the energy study. At each wall space work station the question was clearly displayed along with guidance on how to engage with the tool being used and printed out summaries providing additional information where needed. The key outputs of the workshop are presented as a summary of the comments that were made either during group discussion or as written comments on post-it notes at each of the five work stations. The summary includes all different perspectives and opinions that were voiced but avoids duplication and reiteration where it occurs. Specific quotes or verbatim statements have been included to illustrate the particular issues or topics that are presented. Participants considering their response to the five questions. 3 QUESTION A. In 2030 Brighton and Hove emits 56% less CO2 than it did in 2005 What do you think ... how achievable is this target? Tool: Continuum (line chart) and facilitated discussion. What factors influence achievement of this target? What are the negative factors or barriers that make it difficult to achieve? What could be done to address the barriers? What are the positive factors or opportunities that make it achievable? What could be done to realise the potential of the opportunities? Key comments: The study received a positive and optimistic response from participants The potential and opportunity is recognised and supported The CO2 reduction target is accepted as being technically feasible We are already on track to achieve the target – 12% reduction in CO2 emissions between 2005 and 2010 However, reaching the target requires: Strong leadership Co-ordinated effort “The City Council needs Organised approach to raise its game” Finance and delivery mechanisms The City Council is best placed to take a lead role but this requires a change in its mind- set – needs to be decision making on plans and priorities now. Key challenges: How to generate the necessary political and cultural will to realise the potential How to make the necessary action financially attractive to key stakeholders and investors Questions: Is it possible to answer this question (how achievable is the target?) when approx. 76% of the proposed target reduction results from de-carbonisation of the National Grid? 4 Positive factors: what makes the target achievable? Really good brains people and practical partnership working exists already in this area and can be built on (Already) developing an Action Plan, engaging community groups, engaging the private sector to implement Renewable energy and energy efficiency make sense – this must be proven in commercial business plans for the city £10K per year (Green Deal type money) on 10,000 homes per year over 12 years = £120 million invested per year in the local construction business – local companies who spend money!! After grid-decarbonisation we only need to achieve 3% (reduction) per year – EASY! 18% over national grid de-carbonisation Technically feasible – they have been achieved elsewhere – need leadership, funding, ACTION! See: Birmingham Energy Savers – mass retrofit project and German example Negative factors: what makes the target difficult to achieve? Inertia and lack of leadership. It should be possible to take a bold step forward now – with a decent evidence base. We don’t need 100% accuracy of info to make decision. Learn as we go, occasionally get it wrong, but do build up a body of intelligence to inform continuous progress and move forward. Lack of leadership from BHCC – the main people are located in different council teams. People are addicted to their cars so cannot reduce car use by taking buses and building a light rail network People having to pay 7% interest on Green Deal – another way for banks to make money Actions: what needs to happen? Need large scale funding – 100s of millions should alter the mindset when considering energy solutions The Council should promote the Green Deal to its residents – either become a Green Deal provider or provide funds for a Green Deal provider to offer subsidised rates to Brighton and Hove customers Need a Task Force with clear remit from Council Leader to include key partners Need a co-ordinating group as a public/private partnership to bring funding to seed new projects There needs to be more joined-up policies – linking and balancing different policy agendas Use low cost loan – ESCO model BHCC can access very low borrowing rates – use this for investment in city energy projects Need determined joint work, political consensus and drive More financial support from Council - Lower interest loans Strong leadership and co-ordination from BHCC to produce business plans for different measures, prioritise and put organisational/partner and E packages in place. Mass retrofit should be a priority Utilising and supporting existing resources and helping development more resources in community groups Needs co-ordination and strategies for gaining public support – not looking too good at the moment. 5 QUESTION B. Of the two scenarios for CO2 reduction in Brighton and Hove which do you think is the most achievable – and why? Tool: Achievable/Not achievable charts for each scenario Scenario 1: High Energy Efficiency Main focus on higher level of energy efficiency in existing stock Lesser focus on large scale energy projects (1 District Heating Scheme) Scenario 2: High Renewable and Low Carbon Energy Generation Lesser focus on energy efficiency in existing stock Greater focus on large scale and decentralised energy projects (3 District Heating Schemes, 1 solar farm and 17 large scale wind turbines) Key comments: A number of comments asked why there has to be an either/or decision between the two scenarios It would be preferable (ideally) to pursue the option of high energy efficiency AND large scale renewable energy generation Or implement scenario 1 followed in the future by scenario 2. 6 Scenario 1: High Energy Efficiency Main focus on higher level of energy efficiency in existing stock Lesser focus on large scale energy projects (1 District Heating Scheme) ACHIEVABLE NOT ACHIEVABLE 11 comments 4 comments 1.

  • Sustainability Action Plan
    Brighton & Hove’s Sustainability Action Plan Forewords If everyone on the planet used the same amount of resources as we do in Brighton & Hove, we’d need three and a half Earths to keep going. It’s just not sustainable for us or anyone else on the planet to go on at this rate. One Planet Living is a clear set of ten sustainability principles put together by the organisations BioRegional and the Worldwide Fund for Nature, which set out how we can live and work within a fair share of our planet’s resources. Many of the environmental principles are familiar - such as reducing waste, energy efficiency, supporting wildlife and creating more a sustainable transport system. Much progress has been made in these areas over the last few years, and they’re widely recognised as goals we want to achieve for everyone’s benefit. However One Planet Living also incorporates social and economic sustainability - such as sustainable materials, local food, water use, culture and community, equity and the local economy, and health and happiness. It’s a clear framework that we can use to build on the progress that’s already been made towards sustainability - and use to set out ambitious goals to go even further. This sustainability action plan outlines how we will use One Planet Living to meet two of the council’s key priorities - creating a more sustainable city and modernising the council. It’s a challenging time for the public sector, but we’re not going it alone. Our partners in the city are working with us to shape a ‘One Planet City’.

  • City Sustainability Action Plan
    City Sustainability Action Plan Introduction This Action Plan presents a broad set of actions and initiatives that support sustainability and that are being delivered by the council, city partners and individuals across the city. Individually these actions represent the breadth of ambition and activity in the city and collectively they inform a plan that supports the broader sustainability goals of the council and city, and forms the sustainability framework for the wider Biosphere region. Using the One Planet framework, this Action Plan provides a comprehensive approach for supporting the city’s priorities. The One Planet approach aims to create a future where it’s easy, attractive and affordable for all of us to lead happy and healthy lives, using a fair share of the earth’s resources. In the Plan, this is translated into actions that deliver across ten One Planet Principles of sustainability. Zero carbon Making buildings more energy efficient and delivering all energy with renewable technologies Zero waste Reducing waste arisings, reusing where possible, and ultimately sending zero waste to landfill Sustainable transport Encouraging low carbon modes of transport to reduce emissions, reducing the need to travel Sustainable materials Using sustainable products that have a low embodied energy Local and sustainable food Choosing low impact, local, seasonal and organic diets and reducing food waste Sustainable water Using water more efficiently in buildings and in the products we buy; tackling local flooding and water course pollution Land
