Presentation on green energy planning for the local community network area and a request for ideasa and support in how to begin implementing the plans. Delivered by Charmian Larke and Caroline Robinson to Falmourth business Club on 28th June 2012.

1. FEP June 2012
Purpose of FEP
To work in a collaborative and inclusive way
within the Network area as a catalyst to make our
area resilient, energy efficient and sustainable
over the next 25 years and beyond

2. FEP June 2012
Reasons for aiming for higher local resilience
 major financial problems Europe/world wide
 high and rising energy prices
 reduced energy security
 recession with growth prospects uncertain
 resource supply issues looming
 climate change about to bring increased uncertainty in
 food supply
 tourism income

3. FEP June 2012
Progress so far
 Local energy supply & demand clear
 Indication of present trends
 Better view of housing & energy
 Renewable energy sources very large
 We can meet Low Carbon 2050 legal targets
 Local food self reliance also possible
 We have set up FEP as an Industrial Provident
Society for the benefit of the community

Local energy use
GWh non- domestic transport total %
domestic
Coal 2 10 12 2%
Oil 53 122 259 434 56%
Gas 47 146 193 25%
Electricity 40 96 136 18%
RE 11 1%
Totals 142 375 259 776 100%
% 18% 48% 33% 100%
Energy costs £87m pa nearly 20% of local GVA
Highest demands are
• oil for transport & home heating
• gas in the home

5. FEP June 2012
Housing and energy
Case studies carried out in
housing types covering >50% of
local homes
 Shows large potential for
energy saving especially in older
houses
 Many opportunities to change
to renewable energy heating eg Pellet stove
ground source heat pumps, pellet
boilers and stoves

6. FEP June 2012
Local solar resource very large
PV Potential
Using Output % of 2050
energy
GWh pa
Domestic 30% of 16 3%
suitable
Non Domestic 14% of 64 14%
roofs
Total buildings 80 17%
Land arrays 10% of 175 37%
low grade
land
To meet this 54% of demand requires installation
of interseasonal energy storage

7. FEP June 2012
Large wind resource available
With no noise problems the local
resource is:-
 large turbines installed at 1-2 pa can meet
28% of 2050 needs
 smaller turbines at 23 pa, sites to supply
12% of future demand

8. FEP June 2012
Land issues
At present we import over 90% of our food
We have land and skills to grow and
process most of our own food
This still leaves room for:-
 Solar Arrays for 37% of low carbon
demand
 Planting woodland for coppice for
energy – heating/electricity backup
for wind and solar & for system stability
etc
 Recreation land, nature & other uses

9. FEP June 2012
Business opportunities to increase resilience
 energy efficiency: programme of £5m pa
 insulation, new boilers- especially renewable heat supply
 low energy lighting, conservatories
 controls, smart metering, video conferencing
 industrial system redesign & LCA
 low carbon transport options
 renewable energy local supply: programme of £6.5m pa
 wind, PV, solar heat
 local energy supply companies
 local food production, processing and sales local market £60m pa
 growing, processing
 increase local marketing- wins on low transport costs
 local business increases local resilience when using local supplies

10. FEP June 2012
With higher local energy efficiency we can
produce all our energy from local renewable
energy resources, building on local expertise
and building the local business base
Please join with FEP in working together for
Action for local energy wealth
