London Strategic and Policy Context
Low Carbon Technologies
Target to meet 25% of London’s energy needs from decentralised energy sources by 2025
New development subject to Mayor’s energy hierarchy in London Plan:
1. Be lean: use less energy
2. Be clean: supply energy efficiently
3. Be green: use renewable energy
Investment in UK to date in decentralised energy and energy efficiency has saved £37.2bn per year;4. Reducing need for centralised generation capacity
5. Reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels

9 Gas vs. low carbon heat sources
• Electricity Generation- Photovoltaic Panels – proven, space efficient, eligible for Feed-in-Tariffs
- Combined Heat and Power engines – proven and well established but with potential
air quality issues
- Fuel cells – emerging technology, no air quality issues and eligible for Feed-in-
Tariffs at a micro scale (<2kW)
• District Heating Networks- Gas – proven, space efficient, simple, with mature supply chain
- Low Carbon Heat Sources– emerging technologies / supply chains, more
complex, not conventionally cost competitive
- Grid decarbonisation will eliminate any carbon savings from gas CHP.
- London study:
- Secondary heat about equivalent to total heating demand
(70 TWh/yr);
- Nearly half can be used with DHNs (30 TWh/yr)
Low Carbon Technologies
| Re-energising Camden | Page 10
10 Feed-in Tariff
• Payment from government for every kilowatt hour of
electricity generated from renewable means.
• Rate based on:- Size of the system
- Type of technology installed
- Date of installation
- Conditional on use of approved certified installer

What makes a Solar School?
@FitzBoA Our 5th panel is on the progress chart at school now,! Wow!
#SolarSchools
Community cohesion and confidence

do?”. It was the get together, making the community a
family.”

• 79% volunteers increased understanding of how community projects are set up and run.
"So I learned in that training… I learned more in three hours than I had done in a long time. And
there are lessons that I will learn and use in my life"
Creating climate savvy citizens
• Most popular outcome: increased pupil awareness.
• 47% of volunteers increased understanding of how to save energy at home.
• 53% volunteers increased motivation to get involved in other community or energy projects.
• 18% donors felt more positive about renewable energy and energy saving.

We have the essential technical, financial, legal and project management expertise needed to ensure successful delivery
Our vision
Before... After...
• To create resilient, empowered communities that control and own the generation and usage of renewable energy.
• To support wide-scale development of community-owned renewable energy projects across London.
To put it another way...
Our Journey
Lambeth is the 5th most deprived area in London and the 25th most deprived in UK.
As a key focal point within Lambeth, Brixton gave us the chance to address some serious problems.
Goals: To allow people to invest in themselves & their
community
To allow people to gain financially through socially responsible investment
To promote energy efficiency through education, home energy audits, etc
To provide apprenticeships and work experience for local people
…it’s all about wellbeing!

Re-energising Camden:jumping the hurdles
“We took a 9 million dollar hit to our business after Hurricane Sandy. Climate change is a real business risk. That, fundamentally, is why we decided to go for a full 100 per cent cover of our energy production from renewables”. Steve Howard IKEA
When does solar need subsidy ?
• - in the absence of carbon taxation (or rationing)
• - long term (40 year?) investment – society values future income more than individuals or companies
PAYBACK AND RETURNS

AD in developed and developing countries
Micro AD for the urban environment
Where there is the greatest volume of food waste and the largest demand for food and
employment opportunities
By-products
Vision
Closing the urban waste-energy-food loop:
= more resilient communities
Micro anaerobic digestion+ intensive food growing+ spin-off local enterprises
Closed loop cycle
Benefits• Diverts food waste from landfill,• Reduces waste transport & emissions,• Generates local, renewable fuel and fertiliser,
• Supports local employment and enterprise opportunities,
• Engagement and educational opportunities• Complements large digesters by accessing hard to reach wastes
Opportunities of social housing estates
Create an economically sustainable closed-loop model• Employment and training for residents
• AD system construction
• Food waste collection + AD operation
• Food-related enterprise opportunitiesUrban agriculture Community kitchen/caféFood processing
Link with surplus food networks
• Savings from reduced residual waste disposal costs (at £63 per diverted tonne) could be used to support schemes
• AD is an important but underrepresented low-carbon energy option that can complement other renewables
• Supports on-going local employment, training and enterprise opportunities, when integrated with urban agriculture
• Communities can participate in creating the circular economy

Reenergising Camden, January 2015
Why community energy?
• Local and democratic ownership of energy generation
• Increasing resilience in communities by creating a fund to help fuel poor
• The Transition ethos of “just doing stuff”
Why work with us?
• We will fund solar installation through community share offer
• Reduced energy bills at no cost• Help contribute to a local fund to help local community cut energy bills, especially the fuel poor
• Build positive and sustainable relationship with local area while supporting local transition to renewables
Help us Power Up North London!
• We want PUNL to remain a genuine community project, run by and for people in our community
• If you’d like to be involved with the project, get in touch!
