3. Renewable Energy in the Community • TARGETS: • Carbon Neutral as an Authority (eg. by 2020) • Carbon Neutral as a Region by (eg. by 2030)

4. Renewable Energy in the Community • Economic Development Priorities to 2011: • Objective 6: • Be nationally recognised for the self-sufficient and inclusive communities in its area. • Action 6.1: • Assist all larger rural partnerships in gaining an asset to produce income that can fund rural partnership work. • (Eg. Some community partnerships are now receiving income from wind farms.)

5. Renewable Energy in the Community • Helping communities to be • self-sufficient….. • Reduce Energy Use • Use Renewable Energy (where practical)

8. Aberdeenshire Sustainable Community Halls Initiative • Village Halls……..

9. Aberdeenshire Sustainable Community Halls Initiative • Aims and Objectives • To make community halls more sustainable by making them more energy efficient and where practical, deploy renewable energy technologies. • To support the formation of a group of community halls interested in carrying forward renewable energy projects. • Where possible provide an asset that will also generate an income for the community.

10. Aberdeenshire Sustainable Community Halls Initiative • Aims and Objectives • To raise awareness of climate change issues, and Aberdeenshire Council’s sustainability goals. • To raise awareness of energy efficiency measures and renewable energy options for domestic properties that will help to combat fuel poverty, reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate against the causes of climate change. • To promote the use of locally sourced materials and strengthen skills and employment opportunities.

11. Aberdeenshire Sustainable Community Halls Initiative • Partners – • Alan Beedie • SCHRI Development Officer • Kevin Christie • Technical Officer

29. Feed-In Tariffs…. • Scheme started April 2010 • Replaces ROCs (<5MW) • Incentivise small-scale generators • <50kW must use MCS • Tariffs linked to RPI • Exported Electricity 3p/kWh guarantee

30. Renewable Energy in the Community • Wind

31. Renewable Energy in the Community • Wind

32. Example: • FIS Chemicals • 11kW • GAIA Turbine • Av. Wind • 5.1 m/s • Load Factor • 20% • CO2 Saving • 12t

33. Example: • 11kW Wind Turbine • Load Factor: 20% • Annual Generation = 19,272kWh • (80% electricity used on site, 20% exported to grid) • Feed-in-Tariff = 26.7p x 19,272 = £5,145 • Elec exported = 5.0p x 4,837 = £ 242 • Elec saving = 10.0p x 15,418 = £1,542 • Total = £6,929

34. Example: • Enercon E33 • 330kW • Rotor Diam. • 33.4m • Hub Height • 37 – 50m

35. Example: • 330kW Wind Turbine • Load Factor: 30% • Annual Generation = 867,240kWh • Feed-in-Tariff = 18.8p x 867,240 = £163,041 • Elec exported = 5.0p x 867,240 = £ 43,362 • Total = £206,403

36. Renewable Energy in the Community • Solar – Photo Voltaic

37. Renewable Energy in the Community • Hydro

38. Example: • 10kW Hydro installation • Capacity Factor: 65% • Annual Generation = 56,940kWh • (all exported to grid) • Feed-in-Tariff = 19.9p x 56,940 = £11,331 • Elec exported = 5p x 56,940 = £ 2,847 • Total = £14,178

39. Renewable Heat Incentive…. • Spending Review 20 October 2010 • £850m direct Government support • Comes into effect July 2011 • ROI 12% on additional cost • (6% for Solar Thermal) • MCS Certified installers for small/medium • Installations after 15 July 2009 qualify
