Step 1 Reduce your energy demand

Before installing any renewable energy project, you should always consider whether it is possible to reduce your energy demand through various energy efficiency measures, such as insulation, low energy lightbulbs, or energy efficient appliances. This reduces the potential size and cost of the renewable energy system needed.

Step 2 Know how much energy you use

If you are looking to meet some of your own energy requirements with renewables you will need to understand your annual demand for electricity and heating.

Once you have reduced your energy demand and understand your usage, including seasonal differences, you can start to narrow down the most appropriate type and size of renewable energy technology for your circumstances. There are many useful online guides to help you do this. For example the Energy Saving Trust has a home energy generation questionnaire at: www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/renewableselector/start

Step 3 Identify any opportunities and constraints

When considering which renewable technology to install you will need to identify all the opportunities and constraints for renewable energy on your site and/or property. In particular think about the renewable energy resources available, eg wind, un-shaded property; the characteristics of your particular site and/or property, eg south facing; and the specific requirements of each renewable energy technology, eg ground available for ground source heat pumps. A Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accredited installer or an independent energy assessor will be able to advise you about which technology or technologies are suitable for your particular circumstances.

Step 4 Check for any planning issues

Check with your local planning authority for any planning issues relating to your particular site and/or property. Regen SW recommends this is done far in advance of any installation work, and should ideally form part of your selection process for suitable technology or technologies, as planning permission can be an important factor.

A quick guide to installing renewable energy

Step 1 – Reduce your energy demand

Step 2 – Know how much energy you use

Step 3 – Identify any opportunities and constraints

Step 4 – Check for any planning issues

Step 5 – Select the appropriate technology

Step 6 – Get quotes from three installers



Step 5 Select the appropriate technology or technologies

Having gone through all of these steps you should be well placed to identify which renewable energy technology or technologies are best suited to your circumstances.

The sessions at today’s event offer an independent overview of each of the technologies for consideration.

Step 6Get quotes from three installers

Once you have identified which renewable energy technology to install, we recommend obtaining three quotes from MCS accredited installers. You will need to ensure they use MCS certified products and they are a member of the REAL assurance scheme

In order to be eligible for the Feed-in Tariff, the government’s financial incentive for renewable electricity, renewable electricity installations of up to 50 kW in size need to be installed by a MCS registered installer. The same criterion applies to renewable heat installations up to 45 kW.

You can search for MCS certificated installers near you at www.microgenerationcertification.org/mcs-consumer/installer-search.php or meet them here at the Renewable Energy Marketplace.

The Green Deal


Background

The Green Deal is a new financial mechanism that will allow energy efficiency measures to be installed at no up-front cost to the consumer. Measures might include loft or cavity wall insulation, draft proofing or heating controls, as long as these measures meet the ‘Golden Rule’ which states that repayments for the installed measures should never outweigh the savings generated. More expensive measures, which do not meet the ‘Golden Rule’ such as solid wall insulation, will be financed via the new Energy Company Obligation (ECO). Part of UK Government policy, the Green Deal and ECO is aimed at retro-fitting energy efficiency measures to energy-inefficient UK building stock.

Energy efficiency measures will be provided via the Green Deal or the new Energy Company Obligation (ECO), with the funding required coming from the private sector (e.g. via the Green Deal Finance Company), not from Government. Householders will then pay back the cost of the measures through a levy on their regular utility bill. Payments are linked to the property, not to individual owners or occupiers.

An accredited Green Deal assessor will determine which measures are appropriate based upon the ‘Golden Rule’ and an accreditation framework will be put in place to protect consumers under a ‘Green Deal code of practice’. All Green Deal providers, assessors and installers must comply with this code of practice.

Supporting your business to be retrofit ready


Together with the Energy Saving Trust and other key regional partners, Regen SW is taking the lead in providing intensive business support to south west based businesses in the construction, energy efficiency and microgeneration sectors via a new European funded programme which is due to start in Spring 2012.

Our vision is to create a sustainable domestic energy efficiency and microgeneration sector in the south west, capable of delivering a massive refurbishment of south west housing stock, and benefiting in full from national finance mechanisms to 2020, such as Feed-in Tariffs, the Renewable Heat Incentive, the Green Deal and the new Energy Company Obligation.

The aims of the project are:

• to accelerate south west market growth, initially with and then without public subsidy;

• to enable south west businesses to develop ahead of those in other regions and so develop a competitive advantage as the national market grows in response to Government policy initiatives, e.g. the Green Deal

• to stimulate greater long term growth in the south west through targeted demand and supply side sector development

Eligible south west SMEs will be able to access free intensive business support and a £500 business development voucher from a Regen SW adviser, built around three main areas of support designed to create a competitive advantage for their business. These being:

• delivery capability at scale

• value and cost efficiency

• quality

If you are interested in hearing more or would like to pre-register your business for this free support please contact Lee Richards at [email protected], ring 01392 474325, or speak to one of our advisers on the Regen SW stand number 66 of the Renewable Energy Marketplace event.

Making money from renewable energy

The government has two financial incentives for renewables - the Feed-in Tariffs and the Renewable Heat Incentive

On 1 April 2010 the UK government introduced a new financial incentive for renewable electricity up to 5MW (equivalent to two large wind turbines) called the Feed-in Tariffs (FITs). Unlike previous government incentives for renewables which provided a grant for part of the capital cost of the installation, the FITs is a generation tariff which means that there is no grant towards the capital cost; instead you get paid for all the electricity generated, including that which you use yourself, and not just that which is exported to the grid.

FITs are designed to give 5 per cent return on investment, meaning that you can make a profit from installing renewable energy.

There are a range of tariff rates depending on the type and scale of technology, with an extra payment for any electricity exported to the grid. This provides a guaranteed income for 10-25 years depending on the type and scale of technology, which is index linked and tax free for individuals.

The government also introduced a similar financial incentive for renewable heat in November 2011 called the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI). This scheme is currently only available for non-domestic installations, but the government will shortly be announcing details of how the scheme can be accessed by domestic installation owners.

In order to be eligible for either incentive, installations of up to 50 kW for renewable electricity and 45 kW for renewable heat need to be installed by a company certificated under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) using a MCS certificated product.

You can search for MCS certificated installers near you at www.microgenerationcertification.org/mcs-consumer/installer-search.php

Feed-in Tariffs (FiT)


FiT rates

Feed-in tariff levels for solar PV will reduce from the 3 March 2012 as a result of a fast-track review. In a current consultation, government proposes that starting from 1 July 2012 there will then be reductions of the solar PV tariff every 6 months, with a reduction for all other FIT-eligible technologies from October 2012 (marked in orange below). Any reductions in the tariff will only affect new projects installed in that period, not existing projects; once you’ve installed a technology at a particular tariff rate, you receive the generation tariff at the same rate (with inflationary rises) for the lifetime of the tariff. From 1 April 2012, additional energy efficiency criteria for solar PV FIT applications will be implemented, requiring properties to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D or above.

Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI)

The UK is the first country in the world to incentivise Renewable Heat in a new tariff that works along similar lines to that of FITs.

The Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) was introduced for non-domestic installations in November 2011, and tariff payments for domestic properties are currently due to be introduced at the end of 2012. The RHI scheme is slightly different from the FITs in that installations must supply an eligible heat demand - such as space heating or providing process heat / hot water. For domestic installations, other eligibility criteria may be introduced, such as the property meeting minimum energy efficiency standards or technology specific criteria.

The term ‘non-domestic’, with regards to the RHI, refers to a building which either pays business rates (or is exempt for legitimate reasons) or a dwelling which has been significantly altered for business use. There are clear guidelines on the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) website about satisfying this criteria. Tariff levels for non-domestic installations are provided below:

RHI tariff rates for domestic properties are currently due to be introduced at the end of 2012. However, domestic installations undertaken now can still be eligible for the RHI. To support the installation of domestic renewable heat systems government have introduced the Renewable Heat Premium Payments (RHPP) scheme, which is valid until the end of March 2012 and administered by the Energy Saving Trust. These payments take the form of vouchers ranging between £250 and £1250, which can contribute towards the capital cost of equipment depending on technology, and be paid once an eligible installation has been commissioned and registered.

Dairy farm invests in solar PV

Holly Farm in Dorchester, Dorset, is looking for ways to not only become greener and work towards offsetting its carbon footprint, but to also become more money smart. They chose Freesource Energy to design and install a solar PV system that would meet all their needs. With the significant amount of electricity and hot water used to provide us with dairy products, farmer Max Frampton had been looking at renewable technologies to power Holly Farm for some time to keep the farm running efficiently. He decided to take his first steps by installing a solar PV system to generate their own electricity while offsetting their carbon footprint and making vast savings on their electric bills.

Ideally placed

Although surveyors noticed that some of the older buildings contained asbestos, which meant they wouldn’t be suitable for a standard PV installation, they also identified an ideal roof for a large solar PV system that would generate enough power to benefit the farm

without huge installations costs. The ‘JustRoof’ system removed the entire unsuitable roof and replaced it with Suntech solar panels. The orientation of the roof was south-facing with no threat of shading to decrease the performance of the system, giving a higher yield. Future Plans

Max intends to install several new milk chillers in the near future, which are particularly active in the summer months and would increase the electric bill by a vast amount. Instead, the PV system will be generating at its peak in the summer and Max will now be able to see an even larger saving on his fuel bills. The new installation was designed with a view of maximizing the space, and with potential to increase the solar PV installation in future or install a solar thermal system which can be used to help reduce his hot water costs.

Air source heat pump success for listed building

Brian and Angie Clarke own a beautiful 500-year-old listed thatched cottage in Axminster, Devon, so when they decided to upgrade their heating system they needed a solution that caused minimum disruption but fitted in perfectly with the property’s characteristics. After doing some of his own research Brian contacted SunGift Solar, who carried out a bespoke survey and explained the benefits of heat pumps and provided a detailed quote. The Clarkes commissioned the installation of a 16 kW Daikin air-to-water-source heat pump system. £1,900 savings, per year

The work took four days and involved installing an outdoor unit, exchanging their electric night storage heaters and wood burners for water-fed radiators, and the connection of the heat pump to their system.

What’s more, the system is set to save the Clarkes a huge amount of money, over £1,900 per year on their previous heating costs. “It’s a marvellous solution and fits in perfectly with the character of our house,” said Brian. “The install went very smoothly, and we congratulate all those involved. They and the office staff could not have been more helpful – they were efficient and extremely pleasant.” For more information on SunGift’s heat pump solutions and to see if they are suitable for your home visit: www.sungiftsolar.co.uk/heat-pump-systems.html

Background

The Dartmoor Wood Fuel Co-operative are an inspirational group of people who grow, harvest and process areas of small woodland in Devon, to create a local supply of wood fuel - a renewable form of energy

It is a not for profit organisation and encourages collaboration between local woodland owners and biomass installations to improve woodland management, reduce carbon emissions, raise public awareness of renewable energy and encourage eco-tourism in the area.

With some grant assistance and a Carbon Trust loan, a 125 kW binder boiler was installed in 2007/8 to meet the needs of one farm. There are now five members in the Co-operative at present, all of whom are boiler owners. By forming the Co-operative a more secure fuel supply has been developed at stable prices by forward-buying local timber and acquiring a range of equipment to enable the timber to processed and delivered as chip.

One member, the River Dart Country Park, is a 36 hectare (90 acre) site which offers camping, touring and activity based holidays and has replaced a range of oil and LPG boilers with a single 132 kW

biomass boiler linked to a district heating scheme.

Actors Involved

As the Co-operative owns the machinery it can hire labour at much lower rates than a specialist contractor and channel the savings back into the Co-operative. Chipping is carried out by local farmers trained in the operation of the equipment. The Co-operative joins elements of the supply chain that might otherwise remain isolated.

Many key landowners in the area (Duchy of Cornwall, Ministry of Defence, the National Trust, the Forestry Commission and the water companies) are looking to develop the management and wood fuel potential of their woodlands and the Co-operative may well benefit from this but they are equally keen to share their experience, both as processors and as wood fuel users, to help develop the market.

Dartmoor wood fuel co-op also recently featured on Channel 4’s ‘Three Hungry Boys’ programme.

The south west has seen a big increase in the renewable heat sector and that is set to continue with the advent of the RHI and growing awareness of the benefits of sustainable heat generation.

Regen has supported renewable heat through projects such as the SW South West Bioheat Programme. This programme supported projects such as the £3.2 million system at Dairycrest.

Through it’s Low Carbon Development Programme Regen SW has also worked with the Cranbrook development, which when fully operational will be capable of producing 5.5 MW of renewable electricity and 17 MW of renewable heat from wood and energy crops (enough for 7,500 houses).

Regen SW is working with the Energy Saving Trust to develop other renewable heat initiatives (microgeneration technologies) and opportunities created by the Renewable Heat Incentive policy (RHI).

If you are an individual or organisation with significant fuel demand, looking to reduce your bills, please contact us.


Visit us on Stands 15 and 16 at the Renewable Energy Marketplace go to www.regensw.co.uk/projects/renewable-heat or contact Stephen Green ([email protected]) or Tim Crook ([email protected]) on 01392 494399.

For woodfuel and biomass specifically, the next phase is the FOREST programme, an Intelligent Energy Europe (IEE) funded, pan-European project aimed at:

• developing consumer confidence in biomass heating, drawing on successes in the most developed markets (Sweden and Austria)

• opening up potential opportunities with less developed markets (including the UK), building stronger links and developing regional supply chains

Please come and talk to us if you are:

• a business, developer, building owner or landowner interested in installing or providing biomass heating (100 kW to 10 MW range)

• a wider market actor interested in effective supply chains / partnerships

FOREST / Regen SW can help in the following ways:

• help identify your specific requirements and find appropriate solutions and financing

• inform you how you can enter the supply chain, providing market intelligence for the region

• help you understand practical problems and how to overcome these

• provide assistance on service and maintenance agreements

Building on the success of previous years, Regen SW will shortly be producing its flagship Renewable Energy Progress Report: 2012 Annual Survey, which provides a valuable snapshot of progress in the south west against which future performance can be compared and continuously assessed.

This report is valued by many key partners and stakeholders, amongst these commercial developers / installers, local authorities and planning departments, central government (including DECC), academic partners and local, regional and national media.

We will shortly be sending out a request for information about installations which have gone in over the last year. This information is invaluable to the report, and as a contributor you can request your organisation, group or company name is featured in the published document.

Regen SW is offering you the opportunity to help showcase what you have achieved, both in the report itself and on a continual basis through the Regen SW website. We would like to provide emphasis on economic growth generated by renewable energy projects in the south west and would be delighted to share success stories. Please provide us with case studies and include us on your press releases about your successes.

Renewable Energy Progress Report: South West 2011 Annual Survey 17

Cornwall and the Isles of ScillyRenewable electricity

Total capacity: 74.968 MWIncrease in 2010/2011: 14.881 MWTotal Projects: 571New Projects 2010/2011: 290

Cornwall saw the largest increase in installed capacity in the south west. A total capacity of 14.03 MW was added due to the commissioning of the 2.4 MW Crimp wind farm and the repowering of Goonhilly and Delabole, which both replaced their previous turbines with a smaller number of larger, more efficient turbines.

The remaining capacity was added through two small wind projects, 12 micro-wind projects, 1 hydro project and 272 solar PV projects. Whilst Cornwall has seen a surge of interest in MW-scale solar parks, the solar PV projects installed in Cornwall in 2010/2011 were all less than 25 kW.

Key points

• With the installation of turbines at Crimp in North Cornwall, there are now 9 wind farms over 1 MW in Cornwall

• Cornwall’s new County Hall in Truro included a 23 kW solar array, the largest PV installation in Cornwall in 2010/2011

• One new domestic solar project was added to the FIT register in the Isles of Scilly, bringing the total number of projects there to eight.

Renewable heat

Total capacity: 15.499 MWIncrease in 2010/2011: 0.910 MWTotal Projects: 774New Projects 2010/2011: 87

With 84 new renewable heat projects, Cornwall Council remains the unitary authority with the greatest number of renewable heat installations. Across the Isles of Scilly, two solar thermal and one GSHP were installed, adding a capacity of 12 kW to the area’s overall total.

The majority of the capacity increase for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly came from biomass, with 0.55 MW (60.5 per cent) of new renewable heat. The rest was fairly equally distributed between solar thermal (0.19 MW) and heat pumps (0.17 MW).The 52 new solar thermal projects in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly made up 20.1 per cent of the increase recorded.

Key points

• Although almost overtaken by Gloucestershire (with 4.31 MW), Cornwall still has the greatest installed capacity for heat pumps, at 4.55 MW.

• 13 new biomass projects contributed 0.55 MW to the new renewable heat capacity in Cornwall.

• The percentage increase in capacity during 2010/2011 was only 6.2 per cent for renewable heat in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with a 12.7 per cent increase in number of projects.

Solar FarmsIn September 2010, energy company 35 Degrees Limited was granted planning permission for the development of the first solar park in the UK – a 1.55 MW solar park on a four hectare site at the former Wheal Jane mine site, 4.5 km south west of Truro. Since then permission has been granted for four further large-scale photovoltaic parks up to 5 MW at Trefullock, Summercourt; Polmaugan Farm, Lostwithiel; Benbole Farm, Nr Bodmin Winsdon Farm and North Petherwin.

The government’s review of the FiT has left the future of these sites uncertain.

Ladock and Grampound Road community energy project Since winning the Low Carbon Communities Challenge, the community of Ladock and Grampound Road, working with Community Energy Plus, has successfully installed a 20 kW Wind turbine, a 35 kW biomass boiler, a domestic 11 kW log burner/boiler, over 42 kw of air and ground source heat pumps, and 11 solar PV arrays totaling over 21 kW – plus a range of insulation measures, including the internal insulation of a pub’s cellar. The income from these installations will be used to create a fund for further renewable energy installations and energy efficiency projects within the community over the next 20 years.

Large onshore wind in CornwallDuring 2010 a number of large-scale wind projects have been completed in Cornwall: • October 2010 saw the final turbine at

Crimp Wind Farm lifted into place. Consisting of three 800 kW Enercon E48s with a combined generation capacity of 2.4 MW, Crimp Wind Farm is the first new large-scale renewable energy project to be completed in recent years.

• At Goonhilly Wind Farm (pictured) 14 original 400 kW turbines have been replaced by six new 2 MW models during 2010. The ‘repower’ is expected to treble the site’s previous output, providing safe, clean power sufficient for the average annual needs of around 5,500 local homes.

• The UK’s first commercial wind farm, Good Energy’s Delabole, enters its second generation as new turbines have replaced old. The four new turbines increase the installed capacity to 9.2 MW, saving around 13,700 tonnes of carbon dioxide each year.

• In January 2011, Coronation Power’s scheme at Truthan Barton, near Perranporth, was refused permission for the seven-turbine scheme by the planning inspector, but the inspector indicated in his decision that a smaller number of turbines on the site was likely to be permissible.

• Community Windpower’s previously approved 48 MW scheme at Davidstow in North Cornwall was refused by the council’s strategic

planning committee due to planning conditions, relating to safeguarding local bird life and concerns over interference with air traffic control systems, being judged not to have been met.

Renewable Energy Progress Report:South West2011 Annual Survey

March 2011

The largest rooftop array in the south west at Worthy Farm, Somerset, covers 1,450 square metres. It is so large that if each of the 1,116 British-made solar panels were put end to end, they would stretch for 1.5 km. The system will save over 88 tonnes of CO2 per annum, enough to fill 88 hot air balloons 10 metres in diameter.

Total renewable electricity capacity: 200.233 MWIncrease in 2010/2011: 22.773 MWTotal renewable electricity projects: 3,982Increase in 2010/2011: 2,451

During 2010/2011, a further 22.77 MW of renewable electricity capacity has been installed in the south west. This brings the total installed renewable electricity capacity to just over 200 MW, a 12.8 per cent increase over the total at the end of last year. The total number of renewable electricity installations recorded to date has more than doubled since last year, from 1,532 to 3,982 installations, with 2,451 projects installed in 2010/2011.

Surge in number of installations due to the Feed-in TariffThe growth in the number of installations has been largely driven by the Feed-in Tariffs (FiT). The south west has seen 2,196 FiT-registered projects commissioned during this year’s annual survey period and 3,244 in total, slightly behind the south east, which had 2,567 new projects in the same period, and 3,595 projects registered in total.

The survey recorded 2,393 new solar PV installations across the south west, together contributing 6.77 MW to the installed capacity.

Regen’s survey identified a number of projects not yet on the FiT register, which explains the difference between the number of projects installed in the survey period and the number of FiT registered projects currently this period.

In terms of installed capacity, growth has continued at a relatively steady rate. The greater number of installations has not resulted in high levels of installed capacity, due to the small scale of the majority of projects.

electricity capacity (MW

)• Two wind farms in Cornwall – Goonhilly and Delabole – were repowered in 2010 with larger, more efficient turbines. The repowers have added a total of 11.6 MW to the south west’s installed capacity

• Three 800 kW turbines at Crimp wind farm near Morwenstow in North Cornwall were installed in October 2010, adding 2.4 MW of generating capacity.

• The majority of the renewable electricity installations were microgeneration projects, with 2,442 projects adding a combined capacity of 7.01 MW. This is a significant increase from last year where 408 new projects were added.

• Over 97 percent of renewable electricity projects installed in 2010/2011 were solar PV. The largest solar PV installation is a 200 kW roof-mounted array at Michael Eavis’s Worthy Farm in Somerset, installed in November 2010.

Of the new installations, 97 per cent of installations were reported to be domestic. Only eight renewable electricity projects were larger than 50 kW, highlighting the lack of progress made to date on community scale renewable electricity schemes. However, it is encouraging that at the commercial scale, one new wind farm was commissioned in 2010/2011 at Crimp in north Cornwall, and two large Cornish wind farms were repowered with higher installed capacities. Three large onshore wind projects are currently under construction in the south west: Devon Wind Power’s 66 MW wind farm at Fullabrook, near Braunton; Ecotricity’s 9.2 MW wind farm at Galsworthy in Devon and Ecotricity’s 6.9 MW wind farm at Alveston in South Gloucestershire. Two large wind projects were approved in 2010/2011: the 9.2 MW Alaska Wind Farm in Purbeck, Dorset, and Bristol Port Company’s application to add three 3 MW turbines to their site in Avonmouth, Bristol. With these additions, the 2011/2012 survey is therefore expected to show a much greater increase in installed capacity.

To date, no large-scale solar farms have been installed in the south west, although a number have been approved and are expected to install early in 2011 before the results of the Feed-in Tariffs fast-track review are implemented.
