2. Scottish Government policy context
Climate Change Act (Scotland) 2009
• at least 42% carbon emissions reductions by 2020 and 80%
reductions by 2050, compared to 1990
Energy Efficiency
• To reduce total final energy consumption in Scotland by 2020 by
12% (2005-7 baseline)
Renewable Energy
• 100% of Scotland’s electricity demand and 11% of heat demand
from renewables by 2020.
• at least 100,000 homes to have adopted some form of individual or
community renewable heat technology
Fuel Poverty
• aim to ensure that by November 2016, so far as is reasonably
practicable, people are not living in fuel poverty in Scotland

3. Draft Heat Generation Policy
Statement
• Published on 4 March

• Parliamentary Debate on 6
March
“Maximising the Opportunities for
Scotland from District Heating a
Decarbonising the Heat system;
www.scottish.parliament.uk
• Closed 9 June 2014

5. Draft HGPS looking to 2050
• Identifies four key challenges:
– Largely decarbonising our heat system by
2050 with significant progress by 2030;
– Increasing heat security and reducing
reliance on fossil fuels
– Reducing the pressure on household energy
bills, in particular for fuel poor
– Seizing the economic opportunities that are
presented from the transition to achieve the
above.

6. Draft HGPS: Heat hierarchy
Low
carbon and
renewable
Supply heat
efficiently and at
least cost to
consumers
Reduce the need for heat

7. Including...
• Energy Efficiency Standard for Socal Housing
(introduced Spring 2014)
• Potential savings for tenants of £130m per annum
• Building regulations – new standards from 2015
reducing emissions:
– By 21% in new homes
– By 43% in new non-domestic buildings
• Regulations for the energy performance of existing
non-domestic buildings;
• Resource Efficient Scotland programme for
organisations
Reducing the need for heat

8. • A target of 40,000 homes to benefit from affordable low
carbon heat from district heating, part of an overall target
of 1.5 TWh of heat to be delivered by district heating by
2020, to both domestic and non-domestic properties.
• Increasing funding for the District Heating Loan Fund
by over £4 million, making £8 million available over the
two years 2014 to 2016.
• A Scotland heat map
• District Heating Action Plan and
• the Heat Network Partnership for Scotland
District heating in the Draft
HGPS

9. District Heating Action
• Scottish Government
– Consultation on new targets for district heating
(http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/03/2778)
– Article 14 of the Energy Efficiency Directive on Promotion of
efficiency in heating and cooling
(http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/01/4430)
– SEPA will investigate potential for additional data to be
requested through PPC and the SPRI
– Article 9, 10 and 11 of the Energy Efficiency Directive of Heat
Metering and Billing (https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/implementing-
the-energy-efficiency-directive-metering-and-billing-of-heating-and-cooling)
– Input to Independent Heat Customer Protection Scheme
Steering Committee (http://www.heatcustomerprotection.co.uk)

10. Renewable heat in the draft
HGPS
• Launch of the domestic RHI and
expansion of the non-domestic RHI in
Spring 2014
• Continuation of in-home advice
• April 2014: Announced Extension of the
Home Renewable Loans with £4m boost
• Resource Efficient Scotland SME loans
continue

11. “Cities will be exemplars
of low carbon living and a
focus for essential energy
infrastructure”
“New development
should be future-proofed
to ensure that
connections to existing or
planned heat networks
are taken forward as
soon as they are viable.”
National planning Framework 3

12. A Low Carbon Place - Delivering Heat & Electricity
Planning must facilitate the transition
to a low carbon economy
contributing to delivering by 2020
Scottish Planning Policy
• Local Development Plans should:
o Use heat mapping to identify
opportunities
o Give policy support for developing of
heat networks
o Identify where heat networks would be
appropriate
o seek to ensure an area's full potential
for electricity and heat from renewable
sources is achieved http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2014/06/5823

13. Heat Network Partnership
• Resource Efficient Scotland
– Secretariat for Heat Network Partnership
– Ignis Wick – heat recovery feasibility

recovery
– Edinburgh Bioquarter (Scottish Enterprise, NHS Scotland, City of
Edinburgh Council) – technical business case
• Energy Saving Trust
– District Heating Loan Fund and Warm Homes Fund
– Renewable heat and district heating database
– Home Renewables Loans Scheme

14. Heat Network Partnership
