Leeds City Region Domestic Energy Efficiency Project (DEEP) November / December 2010 Chris Brown City of Bradford MDC [email protected] Ann Pittard Wakefield Metropolitan District Council 1 Leeds City Region – Domestic Energy Efficiency Project (DEEP) 10 local authorities, 1.2m households, 5.6% of energy market, trusted brands, track record, 900,000 private sector households 2 Leeds City Region – Domestic Energy Efficiency Project (DEEP) Context • Government has challenging carbon saving targets with key targets at 2026 and 2050 • Domestic (household) CO2 savings can contribute a significant amount to the overall target • Leeds City Region contains over 1.2million households and provides 5.6% of the national energy market • Local authorities within the LCR have developed public private partnerships to deliver CO2 savings and have developed expertise and shown their enthusiasm through doing 3 Some Questions • Is the whole house approach the right approach? • Are we right to focus on private sector households? • How can LCR best grow green jobs? • What needs to happen to ensure local business is supported? • How do we build a programme which recognises innovation, new technology and funding opportunities will constantly present new opportunities for domestic carbon savings?

Quality independent data collection at one visit 2. Whole house approach - insulation, Air tightness (drafts), heating, micro generation, behaviour 3. Customer Choice - Immediate or Gradual carbon savings 4. Customers to access opportunity in an open carbon market 5. LCR able to provide strategic investment lead by directing any subsidy it is able to attract 9 Leeds City Region – Local Carbon Framework DRGF Bid focus • Focus on private sector households and not social housing initially • The scheme delivers a programme 2011-2014: – 51000 physical carbon saving measures (of which 46000 are insulation) – 19000 behavioural change measures – 751 green jobs – (342 net additional and up to 48 public to private sector transition jobs) – 9.7m public sector investment – 36m+ private sector investment • LCR using the local Carbon Framework Pilot to test DEEP principles 10 Phasing 2011/2012 Qtr 1 Qtr 2 Qtr 3 2012/2013 Qtr 4 Qtr 1 Qtr 2 Qtr 3 2013/2014 Qtr 4 Qtr 1 Qtr 2 Confirming Fund ing Project Set up Team set up inc secondments Partnership formalisation Procurement Data system set up Whole House Survey focus on Cert capture Whole House Survey support Green Deal and ECO Publicity, customer web system developed Delivery of behavioural change Delivery of Cert supported products Mop up Cert provided products Early delivery green deal and ECO Delivery of Green Deal and ECO Delivery of FIT Delivery of RHI Draft proofing Framework monitoring Qtr 3 Qtr 4 DEEP Partnership Framework – preferred model Framework to cover 10 local authorities, 1 procurement process, framework contracts provided to obligated energy suppliers who will lead a consortium of suppliers and installers of measures, consortiums could include management agents to support smaller local business and small, medium and large companies able to deliver the range of measures. Framework contractors would ensure CERT commitment is in place up to December 2012 12 DEEP Partnership Framework – preferred model 2-4 framework consortium 90% of LCR fitted measures will be delivered through the framework, Framework contractors will be allocated a share of the volume work and focus delivery in core localities. Framework performance monitoring to allow reward. Customers choosing to go direct to market is capped at 10%. If there is underuse of this opportunity additional allocation will be available to reward the best performing partners Monitoring criteria •Jobs created •Skills & accreditation of local people •Use of local supply chain •Carbon Saved •Cost •Complaints 13 •Administration and project management DEEP Funding by local authority locality share Locality Number of households in 000s at 2008 England 21,731 Yorkshire & Humber 2,203 Leeds City Region approx % of LCR households approx £000 investment by Local authority Area from RGF Jobs approx £000 investment by Local authority Area from RGF & private sector ** Private sector jobs RGF Funding by Year in 000s potential 24 month transitiona l LA jobs ** 20112012 20122013 20132014 ** ** ** 48 2000 5000 2700 693 inc 342 net 1,222 100 9700 44754 Barnsley 96 8 757 3491 3 156 390 211 Bradford 192 16 1523 7026 7 314 785 424 Calderdale 86 7 679 3133 3 140 350 189 Craven 24 2 194 895 1 40 100 54 Harrogate 67 6 534 2461 2 110 275 149 Kirklees 167 14 1329 6131 6 274 685 370 Leeds 334 27 2648 12218 13 546 1365 737 Selby 33 3 262 1208 1 54 135 73 Wakefield 139 11 1106 5102 5 228 570 308 York 84 7 669 3088 3 138 345 186 additional 852 **Assumed each local authority receives same proportion of whole house surveys relative to its LCR household share **Assumed that all localities convert whole house surveys to measures in an identical way ** the programme would build in mechanism to prevent overall programme slippage if measures could not be achieved or were slow in any locality Carbon saved Tonnes (M) Some Questions • Is the whole house approach the right approach? • Are we right to focus on private sector households? • How can LCR best grow green jobs? • What needs to happen to ensure local business is supported? • How do we build a programme which recognises innovation, new technology and funding opportunities will constantly present new opportunities for domestic carbon savings?
