Exercise In Energy Masterplanning • In Groups choose one area map (or discuss both) • Elgin • Lerwick • Discuss the following issues and feed back key points • What are the energy issues for this area – what needs to be covered in a EM Brief? • Who are the stakeholders? • What are the key tasks/ what are the risks?

10. Feedback/ Plenary • Three points on each question • Choose someone to feedback • Flip charts and pens • Common Issues ? Are the same issues surfacing in both areas?
