The Customer and the Changing Energy Landscape

  In his speech, Iain Conn Centrica CEO talked about the rapidly changing energy landscape ‘a transformational moment for the energy industry, which bears comparison to the revolution we have seen in the communications sector over the past 20 years’. He focused  on  the consumer-driven trends that are transforming the energy market,  arguing that it is  customers who are the real enablers of change, and their behaviour is fundamental to where and how energy will be used. Iain considered the role that technology and big data will play in enabling those changes, the role natural gas will play in the future energy mix and  explored  policy pathways to achieve energy and climate change objectives more effectively.   Download the Podcast

Climate Policy in Crisis Summary of 2013 Seminars

The five seminars in the 2013 series explored a range of questions on the theme of climate policy in crisis, from the science foundations through the prospects for global agreement, and on to issues of policy instruments, investment, markets and the motivation for action in the UK or the EU. Seminar 1 Science and the Validity of an Economic Case for Action on Emissions Seminar 2 Global Agreements? National Policies Seminar 3 Finding the Best Policy Instruments Seminar 4 Conflicting Projections and Investment Seminar 5 Issues of Unilateral Action The very full and wide ranging discussions in the series are  summarised in these  meeting reports prepared by Dr John Rhys OIES.

Is Energy Efficiency Sustainable?

Malcolm Keay, OIES This presentation looks at the links between energy efficiency and sustainability and concludes that they are much more complex than they might appear at first sight. The circumstances under which energy efficiency reduces energy demand, emissions and costs are discussed, including consideration of complexities such as rebound effects, elasticities and persistence of savings. Energy efficiency leads to sustainability when it leads to reduced demand, emissions and costs. To ensure this happens requires an integrated approach to the various systems issues. Policy needs to integrate energy efficiency and low carbon policies, monitor and measure properly and focus on areas where rebounds are less likely to be significant (e.g. storage, demand response, conversion efficiency) and contribution to sustainable systems likely to be greatest (e.g. smart grids, controls and communication, facilitation of non-fossil sources).

Household energy bills – impacts of meeting carbon budgets

Mike Thompson, Committee on Climate Change The Climate Change Act requires the CCC to consider the impact of carbon budgets on energy supplies and fuel poverty. Fuel poverty has risen from 2004 to 2010. The CCC focus on assessing costs for dual fuel customers however the total cost of carbon budgets, fiscal impact, competitiveness impacts and technology development are also assessed. Recent increases in bills from 2004 to 2010 (£455) were primarily due to factors unrelated to climate policy (which contributed £75). The CCC expects carbon policies to add around £110 to the average dual-fuel bill by 2020, mainly due to support for investments in low carbon power generation. The CCC identify significant potential for energy efficiency to reduce bills, however, these are currently uncertain and require effective policies. If unlocked they would offset carbon policy costs. Households with electric heating could be disproportionately affected by low-carbon costs.

Which – Consumer Bills and Energy Policy

Dr Louise Strong, Senior Policy Advisor Energy is currently a key policy issue for Which? and recent survey data has indicated that energy costs are a high concern for consumers. The impacts of climate policies on consumer energy prices are reviewed. DECC data suggests that a relatively small amount of price rises are due to energy efficiency and low carbon measures, with recent price rises mainly due to increases in the wholesale price of gas. Uncertainties around energy costs and bill impacts, both now and in the future, are discussed together with the role of consumers. The presentation of consumer information on the impacts of policies on bills is examined. It is suggested that additional analysis and data on impacts is needed, in particularly across tenure, property-type and method of heating.

Copenhagen and Decarbonising the Power Sector 2010

Joan MacNaughton, Alstom The need for decarbonising power generation is set out, in the context of global carbon emissions, abatement scenarios and investment implications. Alstom’s approach to these is described in terms of technology mixes (nuclear and renewables), production efficiency and CCS. Detailed information on CCS is provided covering: the various processes (post-combustion, oxy-combustion and pre-combustion); the economics of CCS; large scale demonstration; the need for a policy framework; and a roadmap for its development. This is set out against the approach within The Copenhagen Accord and what this may or may not deliver.

Zero Carbon Buildings ULI 2009

Alexandra Notay, Urban Land Institute Provides an overview of the Urban Land Institute and its five key global policy objectives: sustainability, climate change and energy; infrastructure; housing; capital markets; and public leadership. An overview of a survey is provided, that looked at: how people access information on energy use in buildings; the barriers people encounter in looking for information on energy efficiency and retrofitting; and what would attract people to a central hub for advice on these areas. Detailed information on the Energy Exchange Initiative website is provided, covering the key areas of its content: non-domestic only; pan-European; energy efficiency and retrofitting; and efficiency of energy use.

Zero Carbon Buildings Fulcrum 2009

Andy Ford, Fulcrum Consulting Sets out the business case for zero carbon, explaining why it is needed, what needs to happen and by when. An overview is provided of the current emissions from the built environment and how this needs to fall by 2050, in the context of the problems with the existing building stock. A zero carbon hierarchy is put forward, based upon: 1) energy efficiency; 2) carbon compliance; 3) a community energy fund. It is suggested that to move towards zero carbon, we should start building a heat infrastructure and find ways to fund community energy centres, linking energy and property companies and investigating how non-domestic development might benefit existing housing. Overviews are provided for Interseasonal Heat Transfer, Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage and city sized ring mains.
