  • Etsu/K/Bd/00187/Rep Establishing a Local
    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.

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.

  • RCEF) Stage 1 Feasibility Study - Final Report
    Energy Local Bridport Rural Community Energy Fund (RCEF) Stage 1 Feasibility Study - Final Report 1) Introduction and background Dorset Community Energy (DCE) was initially established in 2013 with support from Dorset County Council. Since registration as a not-for-profit Community Benefit Society DCE has raised approximately £1m from 195 shareholders, of whom 75% live in Dorset. A total of 1,200kW of community-financed solar panels have been installed the roofs of 22 public buildings since 2015, including schools, community halls and more recently 3 hospitals. The sites are currently collectively saving approximately £45,000 per year in free or low cost solar electricity. However with the closure of the Feed-in Tariff on 1st April 2019 the DCE directors started to seek alternative business models for community-financed renewable energy. A meeting was held with Energy Local CIC (winners of an Ashden Award in 2018 for an innovative project in Bethesda, N. Wales involving supply of electricity through the grid from a local 100kW hydro- electric generator to around 100 local households at lower cost than standard grid electricity). Energy Local CIC partnered with Co-operative Energy who managed the installation of smart meters, together with metering and billing and back-up supply when there was insufficient local hydro generation. Following this meeting Energy Local CIC agreed to support a local electricity supply project in Bridport, Dorset, based on selling generation from an existing 50kW farmer-owned wind turbine in the Bridport electricity substation area. Training was provided in October 2019 and the Energy Local Bridport project was launched with volunteer support from Dorset Community Energy in early January 2020.
